"Oh, he's a couple of inches taller than I am and has light brown hair and--and a black eye!" "Is he the fellow who goes around with Eric Sawyer ?" demanded Steve suspiciously.

"Wear a brown plaid Norfolk?
The fellow who shoved me into the pool the night we had that fracas with Sawyer ?" "Did he?

I didn't see who did that.

I--I guess maybe he's the chap, though.

I've seen him with Sawyer, I think." "What did he say ?" asked Steve quietly.
"Who say ?" "Telford." "When ?" "To-day! When you had the row! For the love of Mike, Tom, don't be a fool!" "I don't remember what he said." "Was it about--me ?" "You?
Why would it be about you ?" Tom attempted a laugh.
"Was it ?" Steve persisted.
Tom shook his head, but his gaze wandered.
