"Humph!"

"Are the Rovers here?" went on the youth.

"I think they are, sonny. I'm one, this is another, and there is the
third," and Tom pointed to Dick, who was at a distance, conversing with
some other cadets.

"Oh, so you are the Rovers! How strange that I should speak to you of
this!"

"Which way did this Lew Flapp go?" questioned Sam.
"Off the way you are bound."

"I'll wager he tries to make trouble for us on our way to Putnam Hall,
Tom."

"It's not unlikely, Sam."

"Shall we tell Captain Putnam of this?" Tom shook his head.

"No, let us tell Dick, though, and a few of the others. Then we can
keep our eyes peeled for Lew Flapp and, if he actually does wrong,
expose him."

A little later Tom and Sam interviewed Dick on the subject, and then
they told Larry Colby, Fred Garrison, George Granbury, and half a dozen
others.
