"How in the world did he get on that horse ?" "It's the one that was hitched to the carryall," put in Billy Sabine, another cadet.

"Something is wrong." "Let's tell Captain Putnam," said another.
"Whoa! whoa!" yelled Andy, frantically, when he realized that the horse was not going to pass into the grounds.

"Whoa, I say! You've gone far enough!" The only effect his words had was to make Jim travel a little faster.
Away they went, past the gymnasium and the stables and then along the country road leading to the farms back of the lake.
"Well, if you won't stop, go on," said Andy, presently.

"You'll get tired sooner or later, old man.

But, remember, you've got to bring me back, no matter how tired you are." A good half-mile was covered, and then horse and rider reached a sharp turn in the highway.
