good reason for it Sympathy and understanding understanding understanding un un- were his chief qualities He always seemed Deemed to know when to be lenient with with witha a fellow who had slipped a cog and when to crack down Youthful human nature nature nature na na- ture was his study and he pursued it daily He gave Frank and Barney the biggest part of an hour This he told them was their day to get themselves settled into place Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow To To- morrow the routine of the school would begin for them And what he had to say about that routine prepared them well for it it il They knew how to fall falI Into line when they left him Fellows on their way to and from classes gave them hardly a a. a glance as they roamed about the campus and am among among ng the buildings eagerly taking everything in The freshmen were easy to spot The mere consciousness of being freshmen freshmen freshmen fresh fresh- men made them appear unbaked no matter how much they tried to hide it And of c course urse we look just as greet green as they do Barney said Frank smiling Maybe we do allowed Mulloy but Ive I've two or three raw ones that would taste like spring grass to a hungry cow I Whether Hodge was seeking to avoid them or r not they saw nomore no nomore po more of him until class hours w were re over Then as they were lingering lingerIng linger linger- ing near the big gymnasium to see the football squad come out for practice they got a surprise Bart w was one of the fellows in playing suits who streamed forth from the open door and started to trot away to the field Do you see what I see Frankie gasped Barney his eyes threaten threaten- threatening ing to explode like soap bubbles Wh Why Im I'm batt batty said Merry Merr beloved roommate if it Isn't our But how could he make it so sudden Will ye tell me that now Fine work by his friend Bascomb Bas Bas- comb Hes He's sold Hodge to the coach Theres There's your answer Bar Bar- ney A swift-footed swift boy carrying a football had got off ahe ahead d of the others Now he wheeled suddenly and L booted the ball back toward those those who were following him But t the kick was much too lusty and the pigskin soar soared d over them and came bounding erratically toward the watching freshmen after it fellI fell I to the ground I Merriwell scooped it up gave it ita ita ita a deft quick turn in his hands dropped it and kicked The thing things s sailed as if shot from a cannon Over the heads of the squad members members mem mem- bers hers far over the head of the one who had given it the first boot it zoomed They had looked round to see who would recover the ball They saw Frank return it Yea a shouted an astonished fellow that guy get Charlie Brickley's leg Merriwell took hold of Mulloy's arm and turned him around Now that weve we've seen what weve we've beheld beheld beheld be be- held he said lets totter back to our roost in Union hall An odd look had come into the Irish boys boy's face Youve been holding holding holding hold hold- ing out on me Frankie he charged Why didn't you tell me you played football I dont Come now laddy you gave yourself yourself yourself your your- self away Didn't I see you collect collect collect col col- lect that ball when it was dodging like a rabbit chased by a hound dog Didn't I watch you dropkick dropkick drop- drop kick it like one of the old masters masters masters mas mas- Didn't it go for a ride that was something to pan pant about It was the work of an educated leg whether you stole the leg from Charlie Brickley or not nol Now come clean old scout Well said seriously seriously t J 1 dont don't play the game any more Barney Im I'm all washed up And what's the cause of that I ask you Frank took a little time to reply re re- re reply py ply as they walked on Lets not go into it he evaded Its a thing of the dear dead past that's beyond recall if you dont don't mind a slight sligh touch of poetry I suppose we all have our bitter secrets Mulloy was surprised and Oh we well I said he presently presently present present- ly far be it from me to embarrass you pal But therell there'll be bs others If its it's on the he level that youve you've quit you made a break when you showed your stuff back there Ill I'll lay you odds you get a call for the squad be just too bad said Frank for Ill I'll have to duck it il

unpacked at once and stowed their belongings as well as they could into closets and drawers where space had not already been seized by Hodge Later a porter took the trunks away for storage The dining
