d what a good time we will have up at Cedar Lodge!" cried Fred. "It certainly was grand of Gif to ask us to go up there with him and Spouter," added Jack. The Rovers and their chums, and especially Walt Baxter, kept a close eye on Bill Glutts and his cronies. But beyond scowling at them whenever they passed, the bully did nothing regarding the peppered food which had been presented. "He's laying low for something, I suppose," said Walt. "However, I'm not going to worry." One day he received a "soaker" of a snowball in his left ear while hurrying to the gymnasium. He did not know who threw the missile, but was satisfied in his mind that it came from either Glutts or Carncross. The examinations for the term were held, and much to the Rover boys' satisfaction all acquitted themselves creditably. Spouter and Gif did very well too, and were equally elated. "Let us go down to town this evening and celebrate," suggested Jack that afternoon. "I think Captain Dale will let us go, and I understand they are giving a very good war picture at Mr. Falstein's moving picture theater." "That will suit me," answered Fred. The matter was talked over by a number of the cadets, and they went to see Captain Dale about it; and as a result nine of them set out for Haven Point, where was located the moving picture theater at which Jack and his cousins first met the girls from Clearwater Hall. "This looks like a pretty good picture," remarked Gif, as he pointed to one advertised on the billboards. "A real war play with some of the scenes taken at the front." "Either at the front or on the Hackensack Meadows," remarked Randy dryly. "They tell me that more than three-fourths of those so-called war pictures are faked up." "Well, you wouldn't expect the moving picture actors to go right out in the middle of a battlefield and perform, would you?" queried Jack. "Here's a good comic, too!" put in Fatty Hendry. "That suits me all right. I like a good laugh." "Fatty, you ought to go in the movies," remarked Fred. "You would make a hit as the Living Skeleton." "He would unless his face broke the camera," added Ned Lowe. "I understand some of those fat fellows in the movies get a couple of hundred dollars a week for acting," said Fatty. "I wouldn't mind doing some of those stunts myself at that price." The cadets purchased their tickets and were soon inside the showhouse. An educational film was being thrown on the scree
