Frank and Andy at boarding school

"I wonder what Riverview Hall looks like--what sort of a school it is?" and Andy Racer glanced at his older brother as they paced the deck of a river steamer that was plowing it...

Andy's question was not answered immediately. He and Frank were busily engaged in thinking. The scene through which they had just passed with Professor Callum and Miss Gertrude...

"Your spring was too much for the bed spring, I suppose," remarked Frank, laughing when he saw that Andy was all right. "Here, give me your hand, and I'll pull you out."

Frank and Andy were preparing for bed. It was a bit early, but they were tired with their day's travel. There was no necessity for study, and, as the younger lad had said, it wo...

Andy crossed the room on tiptoe, and Frank was just reaching up to the gas. They both thought Professor Callum had returned, thinking to catch them. Such things had been known t...

Ward Platt looked as if he wanted to take a hand in the hostilities himself, now that someone had started them. His eyes were bright with anticipation, and he clenched his fists...

"And the others are either too much occupied in saving themselves, or they don't know he's gone down!" added Frank. While he was speaking he was rapidly divesting himself of his...

"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, an...

Only by the smallest margin was the long narrow racing shell prevented from turning over. Prompt action on the part of the lads in it, who were veteran oarsmen in spite of their...

There was so much whirlwind enthusiasm in the dual announcement by Jack and Ward that, for a moment, Frank and Andy could not get a word in. They motioned their companions to se...

"I'm so sorry on account of you boys," spoke Mrs. Morton. "It was fine of you to come to offer help, but you never thought of being caught, I dare say."

The above conversation was going on among a group of Riverview Hall students several days after the events narrated in the last chapter. In fact following the disappointing visi...

"He won't, after we get through with him," went on the younger brother. "I saw a basket full of chaff and bran over there in the corner. Now what I'm going to do is to put it on...

By this time they were at the study of Dr. Doolittle. A soft light was burning in the room, but the head of the school was not there. His place was taken by his secretary.

"Isn't that leak stopped up yet?" asked Frank in disappointed tones. "We'll have to put some more daub on it. Let's do it right away before we forget it." They set to work over...

Frank hardly knew what to do. He was not in the habit of seeing girls cry, never having had any sisters, and the sight of a girl in whom he was more than ordinarily interested w...

"I was a little afraid of it," answered Frank. "You see, we have been out of it so long that really they don't know just how to place us. In a way I suppose we can't blame them....

These were the rallying cries that followed the momentary lull in the fighting. The students, who had their second wind, were preparing for a rush that might have had serious re...

There was now some practicable object on the part of the crew of the Riverview Hall four, as Frank and his chums had come to be called. The date for the race had not been defini...

"Perhaps you have, but you heard what Wallace said. He wants us to get a good sleep, and be fresh for to-morrow. If you go chasing over to Dailsburg you won't get home until lat...

"You ought to be put out of the school!" cried Frank. "What did any of us ever do to you that made you think of such a mean trick as this?"

"Now mind," said Frank to his brother and the other members of the crew the next morning when they gathered in the boathouse, "not a word of what happened last night. It's a dis...

"Yes, too well done to suit us," murmured Captain Roth ruefully. "My, but you fellows can row!" he complimented. "We were all in, but you finished strong. Will you shake?" and h...

What took place between Dr. Doolittle and Professor Callum after Frank and Andy had left, our heroes did not hear definitely. That there was quite a discussion they did not doub...

Frank was so surprised at first at the sight of the Harbor View dude, as he was called, that he paid no attention to his companions, who came racing up after his run down the fi...

Dr. Doolittle murmured something that sounded like "It might have been a good thing if we had had more of it," but of course that _might_ not have been what he said.

The boys of Riverview were out on the gridiron having some warm-up practice before starting a game between the regular and scrub. It was several days after the conference when F...

Frank did not say much on the way home, and neither did Andy. But they were doing a lot of thinking and their thoughts were not pleasant. The rebuff just administered had been m...

It was the Riverview football team at warm-up practice on the grounds of their rivals, just prior to the big game. I say big game, for the Racer boys and their chums so regarded...

The disquieting news was only too true, as the boys soon learned. Little else was being talked of in the dormitories and classrooms when the football squad entered. Professor Ca...
