"Gracious, are we in for more trouble?"
Jimsy looked blankly at Roy; but the latter only laughed at his chum's serious face.
Somehow, viewed in the bright light of early day, Lish Kelly's threats did not appear nearly as formidable as they had over night.
"Nonsense; what harm can he do us anyhow? We're going to go into this race, and we're going to win too. Just watch us."
"Going to tell the girls anything about Kelly and his remarks?"
"No; what good would that do? It would only scare them."
"That's so, too; but just the same I didn't like the look of Kelly's face when he came through."
"He looked to me like a bulldog that had swallowed a baby's boot and didn't like the taste of the blacking on it," laughed Roy.
At this juncture the girls came into the room. All were radiant and smiling in anticipation of the day's sport.
"Well, we've been and gone and done it," announced Roy.
