“He didn’t know what Davenport’s next move would be, but he thought it would be a good idea for me to warn both you and the girls.”
“Well, we were already on our guard, and now that we know he has made this outrageous demand for money we’ll be more wary than ever,” said Randy.
“Oh, I hope he doesn’t try to make trouble for the girls!” cried Fred.
“I have warned them to be very careful of their movements while they remain at the school,” answered Sam Rover. “We would prefer to have them go home, but they wish to finish the term.”
“They ought not to go out at all unless they have a man or one of us with them,” remarked Jack. “It wouldn’t be safe.”
“Wonder who the man was in the runabout with Davenport?” came from Andy.
“He was a stranger to me,” replied his twin, and the other boys said the same.
Sam Rover took his departure that evening and on the following morning the boys went to their classes for their final tests. Jack did not finish until after three o’clock and his cousins were even later in appearing.
“Gee, I don’t know whether I squeezed through or not,” remarked Andy. “Some of the questions were stiffer than I expected.”
