"Say, but you fellows have this room fixed up in great shape!" complimented Jack Sanderson.
"Yes, it's pippy!" declared Ward Platt after another glance around the apartment. They had called on Frank and Andy in the permanent apartment that had been assigned to them, and their expressions of admiration were called forth by the various ornaments and pictures with which the Racer boys had decorated their study.
"Yes, it's sort of so-so," admitted Frank. "We brought these things with us, and we thought we might as well stick them up. It makes it sort of home-like."
"I should say it did," agreed Jack, as he looked at a pair of fencing foils.
"Do you use these?" asked Ward, indicating two pairs of boxing gloves.
"Oh, Frank and I put them on for fun once in a while," admitted Andy.
"You may need 'em if Gerald Welter keeps his word and gets into a fight with you," said Jack with a smile at Frank.
