"Dat I know; but I no fill de debble-stick." "He must be a nice boy," returned the Class Beauty, with lagging interest and a shade of condescension in her manner. "Of course, he's young yet. I thought he was Kendall Major's twin." Angered by the selfish way in which David had acted, Jen did not communicate his discoveries to the young man. During the night he took counsel with himself, and the next morning he acted upon the plans which he had formed.

This straightforward course was the only one to pursue. "You are sure of that?" demanded Jen, anxiously..
