"I guess he is, too," added Frank Haven. "Being suspended can't have changed him much."
"Well, if he tries any of his mean tricks on me," spoke Sammy Brown, "I know what I'll do!"
"What?" asked Frank, as he turned about to face the larger lad, so as to be ready, in case of any sudden attack, of the kind for which Jed Burr had a reputation. "What'll you do, Sammy?"
"I'll have him arrested! I'm not going to stand for any more of his games!"
"I'm with you!" agreed Bob. "But maybe we could play a trick on him first. He's played so many mean ones on us."
"Now don't start anything," advised Frank, who was more quiet than either of his two chums. "If we begin, the blame will be on us. We'll let Jed alone if he lets us."
"He doesn't seem to be going to do anything," added Sammy. "Maybe he's going to behave better this term."
"I hope so," returned Frank. "Well, let's go in. Doesn't our room look dandy, since they fixed it up after the fire?"
"I should say so!" cried Sammy. "And Miss Williams brought a fine lot of pictures for the walls. It's more like the parlor at home than a classroom."
