This, however, was quickly noted by Hodge, who said: "Be careful, old man; don't let that ring get into your head so that you will lose your chance of standing well up in your class.

You are all right in drill work, and you should be appointed a corporal next month." "Hang the old ring!" exclaimed Frank, petulantly.

"I never had anything cause me so much bother before.

Whenever I try to study I fall to thinking of it, and I dream of it every night." Two days passed, and nothing more was seen of the man in black during that time, which led Bart to believe that the mysterious individual had left the vicinity.
"He must have fancied that you would have him arrested for attacking you on the road," said Hodge.

"You are not likely to see him again very soon." "Don't get that impression into your head," returned Frank.
