Not long before the time for their departure arrived, an unsigned note addressed to Sergeant Erskine was brought by a mail carrier. It stated briefly that the missing Jed Warren could be found in the cabin in the gulch, the location of which was accurately described.

“This shows,” commented Sergeant Erskine, exhibiting it to the boys, “that Hank Styles has some good in his make-up, after all.”

“Bob,” exclaimed Tom, suddenly, “I guess we’d better be on the move. You know the time is rushing around fast. I can almost see myself getting ready for that prep school now—and—and——”

“And we know you’re not thinking about school books, or examinations, or any of those things which tax a fellow’s head so confoundedly,” interrupted Dick, with a laugh.

“Of course not!” cried Tom.

Above a loud burst of hilarity which greeted his words, Larry Burnham’s voice rose high and clear.

“Hooray—hooray for the Rambler Club’s Football Eleven!” he cried.

And the others enthusiastically joined in.
