CHAPTER X.
AN ADVENTURE IN CEDARVILLE On the same evening that Lew Flapp and his particular cronies went down to Cedarville to have a good time in a very questionable way, Dick Rover and Songbird Powell also visited the village, one to buy some handkerchiefs, and the other to invest in a book he had ordered from the local bookseller and newsdealer.
"I heard that Lew Flapp was going to Cedarville," said Powell, while on the way.

"Do you know, Dick, I don't like that fellow at all." "Neither do I, Songbird." "It will make me sick if he is elected major of the battalion." "Nevertheless, the cadets have a right to elect whom they please." "I know that as well as you do.

But I can't stand Flapp's domineering ways.

And he is bound to grow worse if he is put in authority." "As to that, I shall not stand being bullied," came from Dick, with flashing eyes.

"I'll let him go just so far, and if he goes any further he'll have to beware." Both boys were excellent walkers and it was not long before Cedarville was reached.
