"Now KEEP your word, Frank, and tell us the news!" "Yes, you got us to come to your house tonight under a promise, remember. What wonderful thing has happened to make you look so tickled?" "Talk to me about the Sphinx! Frank has the old relic beaten to a frazzle!" Three boys gathered eagerly around the fourth as they bombarded him after this fashion. Frank Langdon looked at the faces of his chums and laughed again. "Well, it would be a shame to keep you squirming on the anxious seat any longer, boys, and I'm going to take you into my confidence just as fast as I can. Sit down and hold your oars. Jerry, pull that stool up; Will, the settee must do for you and Bluff. Now, are you ready?" he asked, tantalizingly.

"Great news, Jerry! The storm last night damaged the roof of the academy so that it has been condemned as unsafe. And the Head has decided that there can be no school held for two weeks." "So Watkins was just telling me. He says most of the outside students are to be sent home again until repairs can be made. And I was just thinking that while I'm sorry for the Head, it opens up a jolly good prospect for some of us." "How's that, Jerry? For myself, I was just feeling glad to be back at my desk again, after vacation, and now it's knock around again."

"Own up, Will, you've got hold of some great news, and you're just keeping it back to tease us! How about that, Bluff?" "You're right, Frank, for I can see it in his face. His eyes are just dancing with a big secret. But wait up; here comes Jerry across the campus. Now he'll just have to open the box, and show us."

"That looks like a challenge, Frank." "It was well fired, at any rate, Bluff!" "I should say yes, because it knocked my hat clear off my head. Do we stand for that sort of thing, or shall we accept the dare?" "There are half a dozen and more of the enemy against four Outdoor Chums, but what of that? This is the first snow of the fall, with a real tang in the air. Say yes, Frank, and let's get busy!"

"That's a likely yarn, Sandy. I tell you I don't believe in ghosts." "All right. You can say what you like, Bluff Masters, but Caleb declares he saw it." "Oh, shucks! He must have been dreaming." "Guess you never had any experience with that sort of things." "Only once, and that time it turned out to be a crazy man.
