"Tom Rover, as I live! And Dick and Sam, too!"

The cry came from up the street, and soon a boy of Dick's age was

with pride.

"Oh, that's so -- and you are a senator's son," put in Tom. "I

Mr. Harrington."

"Stow it, Tom, and keep your jokes until school opens,"
interrupted Frank. "Yes, we live here, and I thought you knew
all about it. I sent you a letter."
