him separate the animals by pulling them apart.

In the background to which Kess had retreated he was unobserved, but
not unobservant. He saw in the crowd Bully Carson, Duke Basil, Kadir
Dhin, and—to his great surprise—Robert Realf. Some other young fellows,
wearing the Fardale uniform, were cadets whose homes were in the
village, and who, by living at home, gained greater freedom for their
evenings.

Bully Carson could be expected to be at Dickey’s, if in the village.
Birds of his plumage congregated there naturally. But that Kadir Dhin
should be there was most unexpected.

Dickey’s was a place that Colonel Gunn cordially hated, and Zenas Gale
watched with zealous and suspicious eyes. Ostensibly it was a cigar and
periodical store, dealing also in a small way in students’ supplies,
such as writing material, and even secondhand books. This was a cover
to sales of liquor and unlimited poker playing. Students liked to
gather there, even those who had no relish for liquor or gaming, on
account of the freedom of the atmosphere. Yet visits to the place put
one under suspicion and threatened the displeasure of Gunn and the
Fardale faculty.

Gunn had often spoken to the Fardale boys on the subject, and he had
been heard to say that whenever the opportunity came he would “put
Dickey through.” Gale, the constable, was of the same mind. But the
opportunity never came. For Dickey was the slickest cake of soap in
Fardale.

So Villum Kess was amazed to see Gunn’s protégé, Kadir Dhin, in the
crowd that swarmed out of Dickey’s when the dog fight began.

“Budt idt iss der ticktograft obbordunity vot I am nodt oxbecting,”
thought Villum.

Not a soul remained in Dickey’s; it had emptied into the street, and
every person there was too busy trying to separate the dogs, or in
telling others how it could be done, to observe or to think of anything
else. Dickey
