"Where did you get these things?" was the next question.
"I, we—we took them from the summer house which Franz and Fritz and
Paul call their armory."
"Who was with you?"
"William Cross, Otto Eidman and Henry Frolick."
"Professor, there were two more helmets," explained Fritz, stepping forward.
"Where have you put the others?" asked the principal, sharply.
"Under the table in the lecture-room."
"Very well. You four boys will have an hour's arrest in the lecture-room after school and when released you will take the things back and put them exactly where you found them. Now you can go into the class-room."
With very sheepish faces the Trojans filed in, followed by the triumphant Grecian heroes.
When school was out for the day they hurried to the armory to await the coming of the Trojans with the weapons, while the boys in the class who had not allied themselves to either Trojans or Grecians gathered in the yard under the window of the lecture-room to see the vanquished ones come out with the weapons when the hour of arrest was over. Before the hour was spent they were joined by others who in passing the open gate saw them and were glad to wait to see the four delinquents pass out.
