ebra that were regular stickers for me." "Physiology was what got me," observed Jack grimly. "How do I know how many bones I've got in my body? I never saw them," and at this there was a general smile. After the examinations there was but little to do at the school apart from the drills. There was an entertainment given by the boys in which both Jack and Andy took part. Then, almost before they knew it, the session came to an end, and the cadets had packed up and were on their way home. "After all, I'll be glad to see little old New York once more," remarked Randy, when they and their friends were seated on the train. "Right you are!" cried Fred. "I think, after the semi-country life at Haven Point, a big city will look mighty good to us." "Say, fellows, do you remember when we came up to the school, how we fell in with Asa Lemm?" remarked Andy.

"This looks something like!" remarked Jack, when the automobiles were on their way through the busy streets to Riverside Drive. "I haven't seen so many people since I left." "And how do you like Colby Hall?" questioned his sister eagerly. "Dandy, Martha! It couldn't be beat! I can tell you, we boys are mighty glad that our dads picked out such a bully good school for us," and his face showed his satisfaction. "And what about Clearwater Hall?" "That's a dandy place, too,--at least, the girls who go there say it is. If May Powell comes down with Spouter, she'll tell you all about it." The home-coming of the Rover boys was a gala occasion.
