Doctor Clay mused a moment.
"As you are undressed you may as well retire," he said. "I will look into this matter to-morrow morning, or Monday morning."
"Thank you, sir," said both boys.
"But, sir——" commenced Job Haskers.
"It is too late to take up the case now," interrupted Doctor Clay. "There is no use in arousing anybody at this time of night. Besides, I am very tired. We'll all go to bed, and sift this thing out later. Boys, you may go."
"Thank you, sir. Good-night."
And without waiting for another word the two chums hurried to their dormitory, leaving Job Haskers and the doctor alone.
