“Sure!” Tommy bestowed a last lingering look of affection on Chick and ambled to the door. There, “Well, see you to-morrow!” he added cheerfully.

“Heaven forbid!” moaned Chick devoutly under his breath.

“Night, Bert.” Tommy almost vanished. Then, however, his round countenance came into view again. “Say, I almost forgot, fellows! Have some peanuts?”
