"Fine!" cried Andy, who loved excitement. "Maybe they'll attack you again."
"I hope not," murmured Billy, as he felt of the lump that was still on his head. "My uncle wants me to come back out West," he added; "but I don't want to unless I have to. I like it here. It's a great school."
"You ought to have seen it when the Racer boys first came," spoke Jack Sanderson, entering in time to hear Billy's last remark. "It sure was fierce!"
"That's right," agreed Frank.
"And they did everything to get it in shape," went on Jack.
"Oh, get out! Everyone helped!" declared Andy, who, like his brother, was modest under praise. Nothing more was said for the present about the news from the West, but later that day Billy remarked:
"If I do have to go back to the ranch, I hope you fellows will come and visit me during vacation."
"We'll be glad to!" exclaimed Frank, his eyes sparkling in anticipation of the delights of the prairies.
