“Certainly,” came from several of the Blue Cove boys.
The matter was talked over for half an hour, and then Frank set off for the jail in which Harlow had been confined.
On the day following the rascal was brought out for a hearing.
He was held for trial and bail was placed at several thousand dollars.
As he could find nobody to go his bondsman he was compelled to remain in jail for the time being.
The boys of the Yale Combine remained with their friends for two days more. During that time Frank saw Elsie twice, and when the pair parted it was with a promise to write every week or oftener.
The combine got a rousing cheer on leaving Blue Cove, the celebration being fully equal to that participated in at Lake Lily.
“Virginia is all right,” said Frank to Jack. “I don’t wonder that you are proud of your mother State.”
The tour now led northward, toward New York, and two days later found the boys in the southeastern portion of Pennsylvania.
Here the roads were found to be fairly good, and they took again to their bicycles, but taking their time, for Bruce and Hans absolutely refused to hurry.
