CHAPTER II
THE WRONG SLIDE
The four boys spent some time discussing the affair of the morning, and speculating as to what John Newton would do now that he could no longer attend school.
“Guess he’ll not worry much,” remarked Fenn. “He was saying the other day he thought he’d go off somewhere and try to get work in the city.”
“Work? He’s too lazy to work,” put in Ned.
“He said he’d like to get a job in a theater,” Fenn added.
“Shoving scenery around, or being part of the mob in Julius Cæsar would be his limit, I guess,” said Bart.
“Speaking of Cæsar reminds me that Fenn fell down in his Latin this morning,” said Frank.
“Yes, I should have boned away on it last night but I didn’t,” admitted Stumpy.
“I know why,” put in Ned.
