Satisfied that no harm would now come to their outfits, Jack and the others retired. Andy and Pepper waited until all were asleep and then one stationed himself at a window on the east side of the Hall and the other at a window on the west.
For a good hour nobody appeared. Then Andy saw some figures moving down near the boat-house.
“The same pair, and they still have on the masks and hoods,” he said, after calling Pepper.
“Here they come,” said Pepper, a minute later, as the two masked figures approached the Hall. Then the two persons below passed out of sight behind the school.
“What do you suppose we had best do now?” questioned Pepper.
“Wait till they come upstairs.”
They waited, and thus ten, fifteen, twenty minutes passed.
“I guess they are not coming up,” began Andy, when he heard a door close. Then came a murmuring of voices, and he and the Imp saw the dim forms of two cadets coming up a side stairs. The newcomers tiptoed their way along a corridor and one slipped into one dormitory and the other hurried into the room next to it.
“Joe Nelson and Harry Blossom!” whispered Pepper. “Who would have thought it!”
“I didn’t know they belonged to anything new.”
