"Let us carry him to the carriage," suggested Pepper, and this was done, and he was made as comfortable on the cushions as possible.
"I wonder did anybody catch the horse?" asked the acrobatic youth, as the turnout was on its way to Putnam Hall.
"I don't know. I'll find out after you have been taken care of," answered Captain Putnam. "You cadets are certainly arriving this term in an unusual manner," he added grimly.
"You can lay the whole trouble at the door of some Pornell students," returned Pepper. "They pelted us with soft apples and other things and that started the team to running away. If it hadn't been for them we would have come to the school in the carryall all safe and sound."
"I shall investigate," answered Captain Putnam, briefly.
"Hello!" cried Pepper, a moment later. He was gazing at Andy's clothing. "Weren't you wearing a watch and a stickpin?"
"Of course," replied the sufferer. He put up his hands and felt around. "Both gone, I declare!"
"Did they jounce off when you were riding?" asked Stuffer.
"They must have! Oh, this is the worst yet!"
"Did you lose anything else?" questioned the young quartermaster.
