“Come back! Come back!” yelled the two masked persons, in consternation.
“Not to-night!” called back Andy.
“You’ll have to find somebody else to initiate,” added Pepper.
“Confound the luck!” muttered one of the masked figures.
“And I thought we had them prisoners,” added the second masked person.
Laughing merrily over their escape, Andy and Pepper continued on their way to Putnam Hall. The darkness of the night speedily hid the two masked figures from their view.
“Did you discover who they were?” questioned the acrobatic youth, as they came in sight of the school.
“No. First I thought one of the fellows was Bart Conners, but he didn’t talk much like Bart.”
“Their voices had a familiar tone to them.”
“Yes, I know that. Well, whoever they were, they got left this time.”
