But the priest remained as cold as the snow outside, drew back his head, and said, "Ah! no doubt these absurdities about marriage came into my head because I had been thinking so much over our young Lord Philip of Wolgast, who was wedded to-day at Berlin." Sidonia started up at this, and screamed in rage and anger "What! Duke Philip married to-day in Berlin?
There have been only two or three star players in the squad, and the captain was usually one of the very best. You're plenty good enough football man, Wolgast, but there are so many other pretty good ones that you don't outshine the others as much as captains of poorer teams have done in other years." "By Jupiter! Darry has hit it!" cried Farley, leaping from his seat.
But as we saw that our store would soon run low, we sent the maid with a truck, which we bought of Adam Lempken, to Wolgast to buy more bread, which she did. Item, I gave notice throughout the parish that on Sunday next I should administer the blessed sacrament, and in the meantime I bought up all the large fish that the people of the village had caught.
"You never told me that you had that trick, Darry," muttered Wolgast, in the rest that followed this swift, brilliant play. "I wanted to show it to you before telling you about it" laughed Dave. "Why?" "Because I didn't know whether it were any good." "Any good? Why, Darry, if you can get up one or two more like that you'll be the greatest gridiron tactician that the Navy has ever had!"
If those fine stallions, indeed, had not been stolen from him, he might have given her the feathers; but now there was nothing else left wherewith to pay the band she must wait for another good prize. Meantime they must settle accounts with the young Lord of Wolgast, who, as Konnemann had found out, was expected at Stettin in seven days."
"It shows me who may need practice more than some of the others -that's all," answered Wolgast kindly. With that the ball went to Dave. The first kick he missed. "I can do better than that, if you'll give me the chance," observed Darrin quietly. At a nod from Coach Parker, Dave was allowed five more trials, in each one of which he made a fair kick. "Mr. Darrin is all right.
Wolgast went over the side in an instant, grappling with Midshipman Darrin and towing him to the side of the boat. "All in!" cried Midshipman Gray jubilantly. "Except Dan. Where's he?" muttered Dave weakly, as he sat on one of the side seats. "I'll signal him," muttered Wolgast, and hastened forward to the anchor cable. This he seized and shook clumsily several times.
Upon which my Lady of Wolgast turned to her, and asked if she were yet wedded to her gallows-bird? "Not yet," was the answer; "but she would soon be." Then my gracious lady spat out at her; and, addressing Ulrich, asked what he would advise.
"And all for want of a bit of copper of a certain size, shape and thickness," sighed Midshipman Dan Dalzell. "It does seem silly, doesn't it," replied Lieutenant Jack with a wan smile. "At least," murmured Midshipman Wolgast, "we shall have a chance to show that we know how to die like men of the Navy." "Never say die," warned Ensign Eph Somers seriously, "until you know you're really dead!"
I know you are," Dave rejoined. "Then what's the trouble? Why don't I suit all hands?" demanded the Navy's football captain. Darrin was silent for a few moments. The midshipmen visitors waited patiently, knowing that, from this comrade, they could be sure of a wholly candid reply. "Have you found the answer, Darry?" pressed Wolgast at last. "Yes," said Dave slowly; "I think I have.
