Thus bidden, Ned, without mentioning any names, related what Carlton had reported to him. “What do you think, Dan?” he asked, when he had completed his story.
“I don’t believe there’s a fellow in the school who would be guilty of such a low trick!” said Dan positively. “I guess it’s a false alarm. We’re all nervous over the game.”
“Maybe that’s so,” said Ned, his countenance brightening a little. “Still, it’s better to be on the safe side,” he added cautiously.
“What can be done?”
“You can be on your guard anyway.”
“I might not eat or drink anything,” suggested Dan with a smile. “Then I’d be safe anyway.”
“And be in no condition for the game. No; I’ll tell you what we’ll do, Dan.”
“What?”
“To-morrow we’ll stick together after luncheon till the game is called.”
