Besides the senior class, a good many of the juniors were also invited. There was to be a fair sprinkling of sophomores, but of the freshmen Dick & Co. were the only ones invited. Up to the middle of the week Fred Ripley felt rather certain that he was to be invited. Then, feeling less certain, he went to Thomp and Badger.
“I did not put any guard over your horses,” replied Nichols. “You’re a——liar,” continued John, “I saw them there myself.” At this another Russell, a brother of the one whose pipe had been shot out of his mouth, opened fire on John and wounded him in the arm. Thomp. McDaniels shot Capt. Nichols, and in the melee McMahon was shot, as far as I have ever been able to learn, by my brother.
Morton demanded: "What genius of the first class invented the 'oath of the dub'?" "It wasn't a senior, sir," Thomp confessed. "What junior, then?" "Not a junior, either." "Who, then?" insisted the submaster. "Tell him, Sam." "That oath, Mr. Morton, required and received the concerted brainpower of " "Dick & Co.!" shouted the football squad in chorus. A good-natured riot followed.
He'll shore do it, unless I camps on th' line, which same I hain't hankerin' after." "Oh, he wouldn't stop th' cows that way, Skinny; he was only afoolin'," exclaimed Connors meekly. "Foolin' yore gran'mother! That there bunch'll do anything if we wasn't lookin'," hotly replied Skinny. "That's shore nuff gospel, Thomp. They's sore fer mor'n one thing.
"Ain't you off'n the water wagon, Thomp?" he asked, with a repulsive chortle. "Come on! What's the mat ?" He broke off abruptly as his eyes fell upon the torn remnants in the constable's hands. "What -what you got there?" he mumbled, turning pale. "Got a bargain in ?" "No," replied Thompson curtly. "Straight goods, Bill Terrill. And it won't be a bargain for -a burglar, unless I'm mistaken.
Badger, Thompson and Butler took upon themselves the direction of the coming "affair." "See here, Ted, you look after Ripley's interests," proposed Badger. "It's a mean job. I'd sooner have the other side of the bet," grumbled Ted Butler, in an undertone. "I'll look after young Prescott," continued Ben Badger. "Thomp will do all the honors as referee." Ripley was already peeling off his sweater.
All of the student body at the High School were busy talking about the affair in the big assembly room before the session opened. "I see where my parents have made a great mistake," sighed Frank Thompson. "How?" demanded Ben Badger. "Instead of wasting my time at the High School they should have apprenticed me to a good journeyman detective," grumbled Thomp.
A man might, if he were of a fearful heart, stagger in this attempt; but I shut my eyes, and take up one of the little volumes. It proves to be the edition of 1883. Again I shut my eyes while I open the book at random. It is the week beginning with Sunday, the 9th of September. Thomp. Coop. &c. 10-Mile Pines. Cleo. Duff. Selec. The fore part of the day was altogether devoid of interest or event.
"Yes," decided the football captain; "if it doesn't take them too long to explain." Ben Badger kicked forward an empty packing case. "Here's a platform, Prescott. Get up and orate!" he called. Dick laughingly held back from the packing case until Badger and Thomp lifted him bodily and stood him on top of the box.
"Well, then, I'll have to tell you myself," conceded Thomp, with an air of gloom. "It's a fearful thing. Yet, as I've been through with it once, one more time can't hurt me -much." Thomp made an eloquent pause.
