" Mike dozed off again.

Mike woke next morning with a confused memory of having listened to a great deal of incoherent conversation from Jellicoe, and a painfully vivid recollection of handing over the bulk of his worldly wealth to him.

Mike made his way toward the pavilion.

" "Comrade Dunster went out to it first ball," said Psmith to Mike.

Mike stretched himself; the sun was very soothing after his two hours in the detention room; he felt disinclined for exertion.

" Mike tilted his hat over his eyes and abandoned Jellicoe.

" "Yes, it can," said Mike.

Mike did not want to be expelled, for many reasons.

Probably he would have volunteered to come, too; Mike would have been glad of a companion.

On the first day of term, it may be remembered he had wrenched away the wooden bar which bisected the window frame, thus rendering exit and entrance almost as simple as they had been for Wyatt during Mike's first term at Wrykyn.

The suddenness, however, of the call caused Mike to lose his head.

It was from the right-hand gate, nearest to Mr. Downing's house, that the voice had come, and, as Mike came to the ground, he saw a stout figure galloping toward him from that direction.

Like Mike, he was evidently possessed of a key, for Mike heard it grate in the lock.

It came about, therefore, that Mike, sprinting lightly in the direction of home and safety, had his already shaken nerves further maltreated by being hailed, at a range of about two yards, with a cry of "Is that you, Adair?"

" Jellicoe, who was appearing in society supported by a stick, looked meaningly at Mike, and giggled, receiving in answer a stony stare.

" "Sammy!" cried Mike.

en wise, he would have achieved his object, the getting a glimpse of Mike's shoes, by a devious and snaky route.

But that there was something, and that that something was directed in a hostile manner against Mike, probably in connection with last night's wild happenings, he was certain.

Bridgnorth was only a few miles from his own home and Mike's.

Undoubtedly it was Mike's shoe.

Psmith and Mike, he reflected, were friends.

Psmith's impulse would be to do all that lay in his power to shield Mike.

Mike had always been coldly distant in his relations to the rest of his form, looking on them, with a few exceptions, as worms; and the form, since his innings against Downing's on the Friday, had regarded Mike with respect.

Mike himself, to whom cricket was the great and serious interest in life, had shirked early-morning fielding practice in his first term at Wrykyn.
