[CHAPTER XXX]
TOM’S LAST APPEAL
“Did it work?”
“Were they surprised?”
“Did you get their picture?”
“How was it?”
A dozen other questions, besides these, were asked of Tom and his chums, as they entered the hall where the real sophomore banquet was about to take place. Around them eagerly thronged their classmates, all anxious to know how the trick had developed, for, it is needless to say that Ford Fenton’s treachery was discovered, and plans laid to offset it, with what effect the reader has learned.
“It worked like a charm,” responded Holly Cross.
“And I think I have a fine picture of them rushing in, and Bascome hugging the dummy,” added Sid. “Now I’ll take a flash of this banquet, and we’ll post ’em all over college, with a notice saying: ‘Gaze on this picture—then on that!’ It will be great!” and he proceeded to arrange his camera to take a different view of the banquet scene.
