son that he won't forget in a hurry," remarked Randy. "Right you are!" was his brother's reply. Half an hour later the other Rovers, along with Gif, Spouter and Dan, were coming up to their rooms when they were met at the head of the stairs by the twins. "We're all ready for Codfish," announced Randy, somewhat excitedly. "Just wait until I go down to the gym and tip Walt Baxter off." "Walt and Codfish are in the school library. They just came over," announced Dan. "Ned Lowe is with them. They were asking Codfish a lot of fool questions in history, as to when Hannibal discovered the south pole and things like that." Randy ran down and in a minute more was in the school library. He caught Walt Baxter's eye and nodded to let the other cadet know that everything was all right. Then Walt did the same to Ned. "Well, I'm getting sleepy, Stowell," said Walt, stretching himself. "I think I'll go and hit the hay." "Ditto here," came from Ned.

It was a fairly large apartment and furnished with a single bed, a chiffonier, a table, and several chairs. In one corner was a closet in which he kept most of his clothing and also a handbag. "Well, what have you done?" questioned Fred, as the twins appeared. "We fixed it up so Codfish is going to spend a real pleasant night," answered Andy, with a grin. "But what did you do?" came from Jack. "Just you fellows wait and see. Walt, will you go out and let us know when Codfish comes up?" "I will," answered Walt Baxter, and hurried to a corner of the corridor where he might see without being seen. In less than five minutes he came back hurriedly with the information that Stowell had just entered his room. "All right, then, fellows, come with me and maybe you will see or hear something worth
