"By the way, Mr. Blodgett," said Sam, slyly, "what do you use to make your mustache grow so quick?"
"Nothing at all. What makes you ask?"
"When I saw you two days ago you had none. It's grown pretty well for so short a time."
"I can't stop talking with you any longer. I must go out to Cambridge. I have a recitation in Latin in two hours."
"May I go out with you? I would like to see the college."
"Can't see it to-day," said Abner. "It isn't open to the public on Saturday."
"That's strange. I can go to Cambridge, can't I?"
"If you want to; but there isn't anything to see except the college."
"He don't want me to find him out," thought Sam. "I'm bound to go if he goes."
"I guess I'll go," he said, quietly. "Come along."
