Only Stuffer Singleton was up, reading a novel by the light of a wax-candle he had smuggled up to the room.
"Hello! have a good time ?" queried the boy who loved to eat, as he cast aside the volume.
"Bang up," answered Jack, and then he went on quickly.

"Stuffer, were you near the gym this afternoon ?" "No.

Why ?" "Somebody was mean enough to tamper with our bicycles," answered the young major, and gave a few particulars.
"Oh, you can bet it was the Ritter crowd, or Ritter alone," said Stuffer, quickly.

"It would be just like them to do their best to spoil your fun." It was not until two days later that Jack and his chums had a chance to go for their broken-down wheels.

They found them exactly as they had been left, and explained to the owner of the barn how they happened to be there.
"It's all right," said the farmer.
