"Maybe I will, some day. I am certain that tree didn't fall of itself."
Having spent fully a quarter of an hour in looking for the motor cycle without success, there seemed to be nothing to do but to return to Oak Hall. This they did, and stored their wheels in the room set apart at the gymnasium for that purpose.
"Didn't find the motor cycle, eh?" said Sam Day, who was practising on the rings. "That is certainly queer."
"Maybe the motor cycle was stolen," suggested Shadow.
"Who would steal such a machine?" asked Ben. "Very few know how to run them."
"They might have taken it away in a wagon. Some people are mean enough to steal anything they lay hands on."
Dave and Ben spent some time in cleaning their bicycles and in oiling them. Then they left the gymnasium in company with Sam Day and several others. As they approached the Hall, Macklin came running out.
"Did you hear the news?" cried the younger student.
"News?" queried Dave. "What news?"
"About Roger Morr?"
