With great eagerness Josiah Crabtree received the set of teeth and examined them to see if they were all right. Then, having placed them where they belonged, he strode forth from his room in quest of the cadet who had played the trick.
Pepper was just sitting down at the breakfast table when there was a sudden step behind him and the next moment he found himself jerked out of his place.
"You come with me, young man!" stormed Josiah Crabtree. "I have an account to settle with you!"
"What do you want, Mr. Crabtree?" asked The Imp, as meekly as he could.
"You know well enough!" cried the teacher. "Come!" And he led Pepper out of the mess-hall. His grip on the youth's arm was so firm that it hurt not a little.
"Mr. Crabtree, you are hurting my arm."
"I don't care if I am!" snapped the teacher. "You come along!" And he fairly dragged Pepper along the hall.
"Where to?"
"You'll soon see."
