't hold that mustard for a loss," added George.

"Pass those pickles up this way for a touchdown," begged Reddy Burke.

"Well, Tom," asked Bruce Bennington in a low voice, "are you glad or
sorry you didn't insist on having a row with Sam, right off the bat?"

"Glad," answered Tom. "It came out all right anyhow."

"Sure it did. He's gone, and you're here," said Bruce.

"A song, boys! A song!" called Jack Fitch, and a moment later, in
spite of the danger of a visit from the proctor, there swelled out the
strains of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow!"

But the proctor did not come. As he heard the forbidden sounds of
gaiety he smiled grimly.

"It Isn't every day that Elmwood Hall wins a championship," he remarked
to Doctor Meredith.

"No, indeed," agreed the head master. "And so young Fairfield made the
winning touchdown?"

"Yes. As plucky a lad as we have in the school. He played the game
with an injured ankle."

"Oh, it isn't alone physical pluck that Fairfield has," remarked the
head of the school thoughtfully, as he remembered what Tom had endured.

Those had been strenuous times for Tom, but other happenings were still
in store for him, and what some of them were will be related in another
volume, to be called "Tom Fairfield's Hunting Trip; Or, Lost in the
Wilderness," in which we shall see how Tom's pluck was put to the
supreme test.

"All ready for the grand march!" cried one of the boys, and soon a big
line was formed, and the boys began to march around the school
buildings. And here we will say good-bye to Tom Fairfield.
