Here's a short story:

CHAPTER VIII 

AN UNUSUAL COMPACT 

"He'll do it--he is bound to do it!" cried Ben, as he and Phil hurried down to the dining-room. 

"I think so myself, Ben," answered the shipowner's son. But, for some reason, he did not seem as joyful over the outcome of the interview as might have been expected. 

"He won't dare let this news become public property," went on the other student. "He is too afraid of public opinion." 

"Ben, he thinks we got that lawyer to take the case up." 

"You told him we hadn't." 

"But he didn't believe it--I could tell that by his manner. And, Ben, do you know, after all, this looks to me as if we had, somehow, bribed him to be easy on us," continued Phil, with added concern. 

"Oh, don't bother your head about that, Phil. We only asked for what is fair, didn't we?" 

"Yes, but----" And then the shipowner's son did not finish, because he did not know what to say. In some manner, Phil's conscience troubled him, and he wondered what Dave and Roger would say when they heard of what had occurred. 

During the meal that followed but little was said by any of the boys. Once or twice our hero looked at Phil, but the latter avoided his gaze. As soon as the repast was over, Phil rushed outside, followed by Ben; and that was the last seen of the pair until it was time to go to bed. 

"They have been up to something, that is certain," was the comment of the senator's son.  (End of story)
