“Well, that is because I study here,” said Johnny Blossom. “Good work,” said Mr. Whitney as the boy came up. “Water slackened just in time.” Then he turned to Rutherford. For a moment Bob thought he had won, for there was a look in his former chum’s eyes as if he was struggling to express something he could not say aloud. But Jerry’s words belied the message of his eyes..

But Bob was so queer today. And he breathed so strangely. He had been breathing something like that these last few days, but today it was worse, and he didn’t hurry even when Johnny struck him again with the whip.
