Come along!" Pike was not anxious to be seen by the men who were crossing the campus, so he moved along, with Frank at his side.
Frank was thinking rapidly, in an effort to understand Pike's motives.
"I want to know why you leaped on me in that cowardly way, and struck me when I was down.

You wouldn't have served Badger that way! And if you wanted to have a little fun with Badger, you would not have disguised yourself and imitated his way of speaking.

That story don't go with me, Pike!" Pike was watching for a chance to escape, intending to make a dash for liberty at the first opportunity.
"You are disguised as Badger.

Badger would not assault me that way, for Badger is a man! But you wanted to make some one think he had been assaulted by Badger.

That one must be Bart Hodge!" Pike started to run, but Frank caught him by the collar, and jerked him back.
"Don't be in a hurry, Pike! I've seen you through and through for some time, and understand your little game of this evening." Donald Pike walked on for a time peaceably enough, but he was only watching for an opportunity to break away.
