The next morning, when Bert came down to the breakfast-room, he was evidently in the best of spirits.
"It's all right, father," said he. "I asked God to show me what's the best thing to do, and I'm sure He will."
"That's it, Bert; that's the way to look at it," replied Mr. Lloyd, with a smile of warm approval.
On reaching the school Bert found Frank awaiting him.
"I've got it! I've got it!" he shouted, so soon as Bert appeared. "I know how Levi manages it now."
"How is it?" asked Bert, eagerly.
"Why, he learns all the answers off by heart, and then doesn't work out the sums at all, but just pretends to, and slaps down the answer before the rest of us fellows are half through," explained Frank.
"To be sure, Frank; you know I thought of that before. But how are we going to stop him?"
"That's just what I'm coming to. When the time comes to read the answers I'm going to take up the slates, just as if mine was down first; and then, if Levi's been playing sharp on us, I'll expose him."
"What a brick you are!" exclaimed Bert, admiringly, patting Frank on the back. "That's a grand plan of yours, and I do believe it's the way God is going to answer my prayer."
