CHAPTER XI. 

FOR AND AGAINST. 

Saunders was excited or he would not have spoken so hastily or so bluntly. 

Hal grew very pale, and clenched his hands. 

"You say I entered Mr. Saunders' room?" he demanded, turning to Ferris. 

"I do," replied the tall boy. 

He had hardly spoken, when Hal strode over with such a determined air that Ferris was forced to beat a retreat until he backed up against a side table. 

"You know you are saying what isn't so," said Hal, in a low voice. "And I want you to take it back." 

"I--I am telling the truth," stammered Ferris. 

"It is false. It is more likely that you entered Mr. Saunders' room yourself." 

"When did you see Carson enter my room?" put in the dry-goods clerk. 

"Just as I was getting ready to come down." 

"Why didn't you speak of it before?" asked Mrs. Ricket. 

"I thought he had gone in to see Tom." 

"There is not a word of truth in what he says, and he knows it," said Hal, calmly. "It is merely a scheme to get me into trouble because he does not like me." 

"No scheme about it," blustered Ferris. "If I were you I'd search his room." 

"If the stolen things are there, Ferris put them there," added Hal, quickly. 

"Mean to say I'm a thief?" roared Ferris, turning red in the face. 

"I do." 

"Take care, or I'll give you a sound thrashing." 

"Similar to the one you gave me the other day, I presume," replied Hal. "I am ready for you at any time."  QUESTIONS:
