As the doctor ceased speaking Dave arose in his seat. He was promptly followed by Roger, Ben, and half a dozen others of the Gee Eyes. The other students looked at those who had arisen in astonishment, while Plum, Poole, and Jasniff were dumfounded.

"And what have you to say, Morr?"
"I was with Dave Porter, sir," answered the senator's son.
"So was I," "And I," came from the others of the Gee Eyes.
