"We will make it warm for those sophs, but they're such sneaks that we can't put a moment's trust in them. Why don't you say something, Captain?" "Nothing to say, Boy," replied Jordan musingly, "only that we must do all we can to shield Frederick. If they once get him we won't see him until after the banquet. I fear, too, they might hurt him, for he would be sure to put up a fight."
"I guess the sophs found out what sort of a fellow I was the other night. I'd have brained the first one that laid hands on me." "You didn't though, and you wouldn't. It's a great deal better to do as Hawley did and just laugh it off." "Oh, I laughed all right, and I'd have given those fellows something to laugh about too, if they hadn't tied me up."
Will glanced questioningly at his room-mate and then said: "Thank you, Walker. We'll be very glad to come." "Where you going? What did he want?" demanded Peter John when Walker was gone. "It was something personal," said Foster. "Walker thinks you'll have to walk the chalk line, Peter John, or you'll have trouble with the sophs." "He does, does he? Well, I'll show him.
Their excitement became keener still when on the evening of the day to which reference has been made Peter John Schenck burst into Will's room with a report that instantly aroused his two friends. "The sophs have found out where the canes are," Peter John almost shouted. "They have? How do you know?" demanded Will. "I was in my bedroom and I heard them talking with Mott in our study room." "Who?"
As Dick Prescott and his chums got out of the wedge they made a dash for the automobile. At that same instant the air bore to them the battle-yell of juniors and sophs at the front of the bank. The rear door of the building was yanked hastily open. Two masked men shot the rays of their bulls-eye lanterns out into the lane, while their right hands held revolvers. Bang-bang! Bang-bang!
Some of the sophs were able to down their men, but they were so outnumbered by the freshmen that they could not hold an advantage very long. The struggle between Browning and Merriwell waxed furious. The big sophomore exerted himself to his utmost, and he found that it was necessary that he should do so if he had any thought of holding his own with the freshman leader.
"You don't suppose the sophs got them, do you?" said Foster hastily. "I hadn't thought of that. It never entered my mind that anybody but our own fellows had come for them." "I don't believe it was anybody else that got them," said Will. "You ought to have heard Mr. Whitaker talk to Mott and the other sophs. They were just determined to go into his house, but the old man would not let them.
This was the first time that Nancy had supposed Cora cared anything for the reputation of the room. Certainly, she had never before appeared to consider that Nancy and she had anything in common. "You see, we're just freshmen, and the sophs criticise us so. I got acquainted with Belle Macdonald and some of those other girls away back last spring.
"Don't feel down-hearted about it," sympathized Marjorie, as Janet Baird began bewailing her unlucky mistake of baskets. "We know how things were. So do lots of others. If the juniors should challenge you to another game, don't accept the challenge. We sophs hope they will challenge us. We think they will and try the same tactics with us. Then we are going to teach them one good lesson.
If the freshman crew could defeat the sophs, Put would have more confidence than ever in Merriwell. Frank was thinking these things over, when Harry came in with a rush, slamming the door and tripping over a rug in his haste. "Say! say! say!" he spluttered, staring at Frank. "Well, what is it?" "Is it true?" "Is what true?" "I heard Paul Pierson was seen talking to you on the campus."
