“I’m so glad to see you again, Frank!” exclaimed the dark-eyed girl, her cheeks glowing, as she gave him her hand.
“And I to see you, Inza!” he returned, giving her hand a warm pressure and looking deep into her eyes. “This is a great surprise. I did not think of seeing you here. You must have had it nicely arranged.”
“Didn’t we?” she exclaimed. “And this is your brother? He is splendid, Frank.”
Merry introduced Dick, who lifted his cap, smiled into Inza’s dark eyes, and gave her his hand. At the touch of their hands it seemed as if a bond of sympathy was established between them.
In the meantime Bart was speaking with Elsie, who betrayed her happiness in her voice and manner. Up on the bleachers a man was talking to a big dog.
“Sec him, Nero!” said the man, pointing to Dick. “Look at him, boy! That’s the one.”
The dog growled.
“Ha!” muttered the man. “Now you’ve got your eye on him!”
Again a growl.
