Q: CHAPTER VII

PEPPER MAKES A DISCOVERY

"You do not--er--wish me present?" came rather awkwardly from Josiah Crabtree.

"Oh, that won't matter, Mr. Crabtree," answered George Strong. "I did not desire any of the cadets present, that was all."

"I do not care to intrude----" commenced the dictatorial teacher.

"As you please," answered Mr. Strong, with a shrug of his shoulders.

At first Josiah Crabtree was inclined to stand on his dignity and walk off, but his curiosity got the better of him and he followed Captain Putnam and George Strong into another office.

"I went after Coulter and Paxton, as you directed me," said the second assistant teacher, when they were alone, and the door had been closed. "At first I could not find them, but at last I located Paxton and then Coulter. Where do you suppose they were?"

"I have no idea," answered Captain Putnam.

"Paxton was under the window of the office, listening to all that was going on. He was partly hidden behind a bush, so that nobody might see him."

"Indeed! That is not to his credit. And Coulter?"

"Coulter was at another window, talking to Ritter. Ritter was giving him some instructions, and as I came up unnoticed I heard Ritter say, 'Now, don't make a mess of it. Tell the story just as I told it, and be sure to stick to it that Ruddy hit me first, and tell Nick to stick to that, too.' Those were his very words."

Q: (CNN) -- Serena Williams will return to competitive tennis after nearly a year on the sidelines in the WTA tournament at Eastbourne, which starts Saturday.

The former world number one has endured a torrid time since being sidelined with a foot injury after winning her fourth Wimbledon crown last July.

Several aborted attempts at a comeback were followed by a major health scare in February as she suffered a blood clot on her lung.

It led to speculation that her glittering career could be over, but Williams has recovered to take her place as a wild card in the grass court event at the south coast of England resort.

"I am so excited to be healthy enough to compete again," she told the tournament's official website.

"These past twelve months have been extremely tough and character building. I have so much to be grateful for. I'm thankful to my family, friends, and fans for all of their support. Serena's back!"

Serena will be joined in the traditional pre-Wimbledon warm-up tournament by her older sister Venus, who is also returning to action after an extended injury layoff.

Venus has been sidelined since injuring her hip at the Australian Open in January.

They will take their place in a top-class line-up which has 13 of the top 20 players in the WTA world rankings, including new French Open champion Li Na of China.

13-time grand slam champion Serena returned to practice in April, but decided against returning for the second grand slam season of the season in Paris.

Answer the following questions:
1. Who was injured in January?
2. Who is her sister?
3. How many championships does she have?
4. How many Wimbledon wins does she have?
5. Was she injured?
6. When?
7. Was she healthy after that?

Q: (CNN) -- Inter Milan are once again five points behind rivals AC Milan at the top of the Italian Serie A table after crushing Genoa 5-2 at the San Siro on Sunday.

But the defending champions had to come from behind to claim the three points, Genoa leading 1-0 at the break after Rodrigo Palacio fired home following good work from Abdoulay Konko.

However, Inter were a different side in the second-half and three goals in seven minutes completely turned the match around.

The home side leveled in the 50th minute when Giampaolo Mazzini slotted home Maicon's cross and they took the lead a minute later when Samuel Eto'o converted a rebound after Goran Pandev's shot was fumbled by goalkeeper Eduardo.

And Eto'o added his second goal just six minutes later with a superb individual effort, the Cameroon striker's 18th goal of the season.

Goran Pandev made it 4-1 in the 68th minute, after being set-up by Eto'o and Wesley Sneijder, and Yuto Nagatomo netted his first goal for the club to complete the scoring.

Mauro Boselli's late header proved little more than a consolation goal for the visitors.

Meanwhile, third-placed Napoli lost more ground on the top two after being held to a goalless draw by lowly Brescia at the San Paolo, with coach Walter Mazzarri sent to the stands in the first half for arguing with the referee.

The Naples side are now eight points off the top and just two points ahead of fourth placed Lazio, who saw off Palermo 2-0 thanks to an early double from Giuseppe Sculli.

Answer the following questions:
1. Who got smashed, 5-2?
2. Where at?
3. When?
4. Are they far behind their enemies?
5. Who ran home after Abdoulay's excellent job?
A:
1. Genoa
2. San Siro
3. Sunday
4. Yes
5. Rodrigo Palacio
