CHAPTER VIII

After Sunday morning services In
the chapel the anvil chorus became
a tocsin at Fardale. It resounded
through the dormitories and echoed
over the campus. And as usual the
hardest hammer swingers were fell
lows who had registered zero when
it came to making a mark anybody
could see without a magnifying
glass. They were the common de-
nominator, minus.
Bob Gagg belonged in that CLASH
fication below the line, and he was
as busy as an ant patching up a
nest that had been kicked to pieces.
Though he hadn't seen the game al
Mayfield, he could tell anybody who
would listen just what had been the
matter with the Musketeers-and
did. He scurried around in a per-
feet dither Of excitement and self.
importance.
Scurrying around like that, he
saw something that set him wonder
ing. He saw Coach Kane and Frank
Merriwell go into Professor Scotch's
little white cottage together. Blu,
even Barney Mulloy couldn't or
wouldn't tell what that meant when
he was asked about it. So Gage
formed his own opinion and ped.
died it.
The professor was football fan.
He followed the team when he
could, and he had come back from
the Mayfield disaster looking all
shot. Now, seeking to plug the gaps
he was putting his nose into Kane's
business by trying to get him to
use Merriwell as one of the plugs.
That was Gagg's guess.
Running into Hodge, Bob asked
him what he knew about it.
why, how should / know any
thing?" said Bart, flushing. 81 don't
waste my breath Ginning to either
Merriwell or Mulloy. But Merriwell
is one Of Old Scottie's pets, and you
may be right. Still should worry.
Kane won't use a freshman on the
team if he can dodge it, even with
no rule to stop him. It's my bet
that the best Scotch gets Merri-
well is a chance to be knocked
around on the scrub. That's what
Kaney handed me-"

hand he was gripping the mans left
wrist, which had been twisted back
ward and thrust upward between
the wretch's shoulderblades. His
right hand had grasped the chin OF
the purse-snatcher and turned it to

There was cheering now; the fell
lows on the school truck started it
and others took it up. A crowd of
excited persons swarmed around.
They stared at Frank, asking who
he was.
He picked up Inza's purse, which
the thief had dropped as he fell, and
spoke to the officer: "This belongs
to Miss Burrage. I'll take it to
her."
Her eyes looked starry as he APP
preached, but maybe that was
caused by the CLEAN Of so many
electric lights.

She took it from his hand without
glancing at it.
