we won't have to keep more than fifteen players. Here you are, Way. Everything all right for to-night?"
"I guess so. Lanny's going to leave the big gate open so we can get the thing in. I hope he doesn't forget it. I'll call him up at supper time and find out. Sure you don't want to come along, Dick?"
"Quite sure. I'd only be in the way. And you'll have plenty without me. Good luck to you. Don't get caught!"
"If we do we'll get you to bail us out," laughed Way, as he swung the gate to behind him. "Nine o'clock sharp, Gordon!"
Gordon nodded and the car went on again. "I'm rather afraid you'll get nabbed," remarked Dick. "But I don't suppose anyone would be nasty about it. If I were you fellows I'd cut and run, Gordie, if anything happened."
"I suppose we will," Gordon replied. "If we do I hope Lanny will turn off the engine before he jumps!"
"Well, drop around in the morning and let me hear about it," said the other as Gordon jumped out at his gate. "If I don't see an announcement of your arrest in the paper I'll take it that you got through all right."
