"Ha, so this is another part of your plan to play a joke on me," cried Mr. Grimm, glaring at the Frenchman. "You ask this student, who was responsible for the original trouble to come here to see a repetition." "Your talk, it ees of ze incomprehensible!" exclaimed Mr. Socrat. "I have sent for no one." "I got a note, signed with your name, asking me to call at your room at eight o'clock," said Bagot. "Hold me, some one, before I die laughing," whispered Sam to his chums. In fact they were all laughing so that only the excitement on the part of the three in Mr. Socrat's room prevented the boys from being discovered. "Let me see ze writing," said the French teacher. Adrian showed it to him. "I nevair wrote that, nevair, nevair, nevair!" exclaimed the representative of France. "But you brought me the bell," put in Mr. Grimm. "I did, because your name, it was on ze covair of ze box. I not write heem." "Then if you didn't, who did?" asked Mr. Grimm. "I am no readair of ze mind," replied the Frenchman. "I'll bet it is one of Jack Ranger's tricks," said Adrian. "It is just like him." "Are you sure you had no hand in it?" asked Mr. Grimm suspiciously, turning to Bagot. "You don't think I'd risk another suspension with graduation so near, do you?" asked Bagot. "I guess you're innocent this time," admitted Mr. Grimm unwillingly. "If I discover who did this I'll settle with him." "You've got to catch 'em first," murmured Sam. "Well I guess I'll go," went on Mr. Grimm. "I have been insult, I demand satisfaction," said Mr. Socrat, drawing himself to his full height and glaring at the other teacher. "Will you name a friend, sir, to whom I can send my representative?" "You--you don't mean to fight a duel, do you?" asked Professor Grimm, nervously. "Of a certainly yes! I have been struck! I have been insult! I must have ze satisfaction!" "If it comes to that so have I," said Adrian, rubbing his face where the book had hit him. "I have apologized to you. I beg your ten thousand pardons, my young friend," said Mr. Socrat, bowing low. "I know when I am at fault. It was all an accident. Still, if you demand satisfaction I am bound to give it you. I will send ze--" "Oh, I accept your apology," said Adrian, hastily. "But I have been called ze eater of ze frogs, an' I have been struck by--by a--person!" exploded the Frenchman. u I must see ze blood flow, or--" "Oh, I'll apologize, if it comes to that," said Mr. Grimm, rather awkwardly. "I didn't mean to hit you with the bell. As for calling you names, why--why I was all excited. I beg your pardon." "Zen you have made ze amend honorable, an' I accept it," said the Frenchman, bowing almost to the floor. "We will regard ze incident as closed." "I'll not, by a long shot," murmured Bagot. "I want satisfaction from whoever got me into this and I'll find out sooner or later." "Mostly later," murmured Sam. "Where did you get the package?" asked the sporty student of Mr. Socrat.
