“I wonder what they did that for?” went on Tom.
“Oh, I guess they don’t like our style,” was Sid’s opinion. “We’re not sporty enough for them.”
But it was not for this reason that Langridge and Gerhart did not want to meet their two schoolmates.
“Lucky we saw them in time,” observed Gerhart to the other, as he and Langridge sneaked along. “They might have asked us why we had gone to town.”
“We shouldn’t have told them. I guess they won’t pay much attention to us. Are you going to work the trick to-day?”
“To-night, if I have a chance. There’s going to be a meeting of the glee club, and Tom and Sid both will go. That will leave Phil alone in the room, and I can get in and make the change.”
“Be careful you’re not caught. It’s a risky thing to do.”
“I know it, but it’s worth the risk if I can get back on the team. Besides, it won’t hurt Clinton much.”
“Well, it’s your funeral, not mine. You’ve got to stand for it all. I did my share helping plan it. You’ll have to take the blame.”
“I will. Don’t worry.”
