“And to think that we may have it back to-morrow,” murmured Tom. “It seems too good to be true! I wonder how it ever got away?”
“I don’t know that, but I do know that we’ll chain it fast when we have it again,” declared Phil, and then they made Frank tell all over again how he had happened to see it, and how it looked.
[CHAPTER XXXI]
AFTER THE CHAIR
The four chums begged off from football practice directly after the first lecture the next morning, when they had a clear period until noon.
“Say, what’s up?” demanded Kindlings, to whom they made the request.
“We want to go to Haddonfield and get our chair,” explained Phil.
“And you want me to knock out a morning’s practice, when you know how much the team needs it,” went on the captain, reproachfully.
“We don’t need it—so much,” declared Sid.
