"I'll tell you, fellows!" suggested Benz, struck by a new idea, "This is the last day of the fair at Tarlton. Let's all attend in a bunch!"
The suggestion met with unanimous approval. Saturday was the only day that the students were allowed to visit town without a special permit.
"Great stuff! Let's start!" shouted Curns.
"All right, we'll meet on the campus at ten this morning and hoof it to town."
"Oh, I say, Benz! Have a heart! I left my walking stick at home."
"Come on, glove stretcher, don't be a quitter," pleaded Benz, "I've another idea! Let's ask Rube to go along. We'll have no end of fun. He's a regular side show by himself!"
"With the menagerie thrown in!" sniffed Pole.
"What d'ya say?" persisted Benz, "Shall we invite him?"
"Yea!"
"All right, then. Ten o'clock, fellows!"
