BOUND FOR HOME "HURRY Up, Sam, unless you want to be left behind!" "I'm coming!" shouted Sam Rover, as he crossed the depot platform on the run.

"Where is Tom ?" "He went ahead, to get two good seats for us," answered Dick Rover.

He looked around the crowd that had gathered to take the train.

"Hi, there, Songbird, this way! Come in this car, Hans!" "Say, aren't you fellows coming aboard ?" came a voice from the nearest car, and a curlytopped head with a pair of laughing eyes appeared.
"Folks crowding in to beat the band! Come on in if you want seats." "We'll be in directly," answered Sam, and followed his brother Dick to the car steps.

Here there was quite a jam, and the Rover boys had all they could do to get into the car, followed by half a dozen of their school chums.
