“I saw it,” came from Andy. “That’s why I soaked Mumps with a snowball.”
“And I let Ritter have it in the ear,” said Pepper. “But I say, fellows, we want to be on our guard.”
“Do you think they played more jokes on us?” questioned Hogan. “Sure an’ it would be just like ’em to do it, so it would!” he added.
“It certainly won’t do any harm to look around,” suggested Jack. “It won’t take but a few minutes to do it.”
Pepper held up his hand.
“Wait!” he whispered, and sliding to the door, threw it open suddenly. Outside he found Ritter, Baxter, and Coulter. The trio were amazed at being thus suddenly confronted.
“I thought so!” cried Pepper, triumphantly.
“Oh, go to grass!” muttered the bully of the school, and walked away.
“We’ll fix you another time,” muttered Ritter.
“And do it well too,” added Coulter.
