CHAPTER VII 

FUN ON THE CAMPUS 

"It was Lew Flapp, just as I supposed," said Dick, when he heard the news from Captain Putnam. "What a rascal he is getting to be! Almost as bad as Dan Baxter." 

"Oh, he would have to be a good deal worse than he is to be as bad as Dan," returned Sam. "But I admit, he is bad enough." 

"I'd give some money to lay my hands on him," put in Tom. "Oh, but wouldn't I punch his head good and hand him over to the police afterwards!" 

Word was sent to Josiah Cotton and other officers of the law to look for Flapp, but for the time being nothing was seen or heard of that individual. 

The Rover boys were to start for home the next day and that night a large number of the cadets held a special jollification on the parade ground in front of the Hall. A bonfire was lit, and the lads danced around and sang to their hearts' content. 

In the midst of the excitement somebody saw Peleg Snuggers, the general-utility man of the school, hurrying across the backyard. 

"Hullo, there goes Peleg!" was the shout. 

"Let's give him a rousing farewell, boys," came from Tom Rover. "Hi, there, Peleg, come here." 

"Can't, I'm in a hurry," responded the man-of-all-work, who had had the cadets plague him before. 

"Oh, you must come," was the cry, and in a moment more Peleg Snuggers was surrounded. 

"Let us march him around on our shoulders," went on Tom. "Peleg loves that, I know he does." 
Is he better or worse than Dan Baxter?
Almost as bad as Dan Baxter
