each other suggestively. By this time the excitement around the moving picture theater had died away completely and the crowd had disappeared. The front doors were closed, but the manager was just hanging out a sign to the effect that the evening performances would be given as usual. "I guess it was a big scare for nothing," was Randy's comment. "The audience can be thankful that they got out without anybody being hurt," returned Jack. The boys made a few more purchases in Haven Point, and then started back for Colby Hall. "I wonder if those girls go to church in Haven Point on Sundays," remarked Jack, just before the Hall was reached. "I don't know," answered Andy. "More than likely." His eyes began to twinkle. "Thinking of going to church yourself, Jack?" "Didn't we go to church when we were at home, Andy?" "Sure," was the prompt reply. "I think we can find out from Spouter or from some of the other cadets," answered Fred. "I know the boys are allowed to go to whatever church they please on Sundays." It may be as well to add here that on week days regular chapel exercises were held at Colby Hall before the ordinary classes were in session. From Spouter Jack received the information he desired, which was to the effect that his cousin May and a number of her chums generally attended a church on the outskirts of Haven Point in the direction of Clearwater Hall. "If you say so, I'll go with you there to-morrow morning," continued Spouter; and so the matter was arranged. At the church the cadets heard a very good sermon, and after the services had the pleasure of strolling with the girls as far as the entrance to their school grounds. Monday morning found the Rovers once more down to the grind of lessons. So far they had gotten along very well. But on Tuesday the unfortunate Andy had another run-in with Asa Lemm. "This won't do at all, Rover," stormed the professor, after Andy had given the wrong answer to a question. "You must pay more attention to your studies." "I'm doing the best I can, Professor," pleaded the youth. "Nonsense! I don't believe a word of it. They tell me you spend most of your time in horseplay. Now, that won't do at all. You must buckle down to your studies or I shall have to take you in hand;" and Professor Lemm glared at the lad as if ready to devour him. "Say, Andy, you'll have to toe the chalk mark after this," whispered his twin. "If you----" "Silence there!
