series, entitled "Dick Hamilton's Cadet Days; or the Handicap of a
Millionaire's Son."

the ugly head of his pet. "I don't know as I blame you. But it's all
over now, though I had some stirring times while it lasted." And,
whistling gaily, Dick went out to deposit in the bank his
thousand-dollar check, the profits of his one paying investment.
