“Then I guess I’d better not say who the fellow was,” replied Kendall.
“I’m afraid you’ll have to, Burtis. This sheet of paper contains a full explanation of our signals for the Broadwood game, the original signals, you understand. It was sent to someone at Broadwood and got to the hands of the captain. He returned it to Merriwell. Now you see some explanation is necessary, Burtis.”
“But I only made the diagram. It was before we learned the new signals, Mr. Payson.”
“This other chap, whose name you won’t tell, took this paper away with him when he left?”
“Yes, sir. I never thought——”
“And you did not tell him afterwards about the signals for the Broadwood game?”
“No, sir. We never spoke of the thing again.”
“And you say this is not your writing?”
“No, sir; it isn’t.”
