Oh, I saw to that all right. And the monitor is Old Balmy we can work him easy." "Fine!" cried Bert. "Now let's get things straightened out, and unpack some of our duds," for their baggage had arrived ere they had done admiring their new quarters. "We're Sophs now don't forget that," advised Tom. "No more Freshmen!" "And we can do some hazing on our own account," added Jack. "Oh, glorious!"
We're seniors, you know, and so are supposed to set a good example for the other classes." "Oh, stop worrying about it," roughly advised Selina. "Wait and see what happens. If the sophs start to fuss, I can soon settle them." "How?" demanded Laura incredulously. "By taking Marian off the team and putting the Stearns girls on," promptly informed Selina.
In a few moments several parties were down, and some of them rolled from the sidewalk into the street. Now that they had been forced to do battle, the sophs were desperate, and they sailed in like a lot of tigers. Rattleton found himself pitted against Andy Emery, and Emery had the reputation of being as full of grit as a bulldog.
The sophomores won, though the freshmen gave them a hard tussle, the score standing 22-18 in favor of the sophs when the hotly contested game ended. Both teams made a fine appearance on the floor. Neither team had adhered to class colors that year in choosing their basket-ball suits. The freshmen wore suits of navy blue, decorated with an old rose "F" on the front of the blouse.
Thanks, however, to Laura Bentley and Belle Meade, two girls then freshmen and now sophs, Tip had been run down. Then the police made Tip confess, and he was sent away to the penitentiary for a short term. Tip, however, refused to the last to name his accomplice. Dick knew that Ripley was the accomplice, but kept his silence, preferring to fight all his own battles by himself.
He had the nerve to tell me last week that he guessed he could prevent a kidnaping, as there were only about a hundred of us sophs!" The others laughed. "Well, he is a chesty young kid, isn't he?" asked a third speaker. "I guess it's just as well we didn't have to kidnap him, eh? By the way, our friend here seems ill at ease. Maybe we'd better get off of him now and give him a breath of air.
"Every last one of them is here!" "Then the sophs must have been to both places where we had them." "Yes, but it's all the better for us. We'll now be " Foster stopped abruptly as the farmer that owned the buildings appeared in the doorway and for a moment stared blankly at them. "Good morning," said Will cheerfully. "We're here after these canes." "So I see," replied the farmer.
It began to look as if the sophs had decided that they were outgeneraled and were willing to let the matter drop. Frank Merriwell was not deceived. He knew the sophs were keeping still in order to deceive the freshmen into a belief that there was no danger, and he continued to warn all his friends to "watch out." In the meantime Diamond had recovered and was in evidence among the freshmen.
In the meantime Rattleton had been cornered, and the disappointed sophs resolved to escape with him. They lifted him and made a rush for the cab. He was bundled in, and away went the cab. Frank rushed into Billy's and gave the alarm. He was out again in a very few seconds, with a crowd of excited freshmen at his heels; but when they came to look for the sophomores and Rattleton they found nothing.
Two young men came into the yard not more than three minutes ago and took them away." "They did? Then it was the sophs," said Foster turning to his comrades. "We'll never hear the last of it. We can't get a horse here, can we, Mr. Whitaker?" he inquired eagerly. "I fear not. I have none of my own, and there are not many to be had here anyway." "Did they start toward Winthrop?" "I think so.
