"Yes, I saw him last week," answered a student named Paul Singleton. "He'll be here to-morrow."
"How about Emerald?" asked Pepper.
"Coming to-night," answered Andy. "He went to Ireland this summer, and his brogue is worse than ever."
"Never mind, Emerald is a good fellow," said Major Jack. "His heart is as big as a barrel."
"Say, but wasn't Reff Ritter mad!" came from Dale.
"Oh, he makes me tired," answered Pepper. "After all that happened last term wouldn't you think he'd behave himself better?"
"It isn't in him to behave himself," answered Fred Century. "He is a bully and always will be."
