ight you are!" exclaimed Andy gleefully.

"Stop! Can't you see----" commenced Jack, but before he could finish his
sentence both Andy and Randy had let drive at the advancing figure. One
snowball took the man in the shoulder and the other landed just below
his left ear.

"Here! here! what do you mean by such proceedings?" cried the attacked
individual in great wrath, and then, as he held up his head and pushed
back his slouch hat, all saw that it was Asa Lemm.

"Great watermelons!" groaned Andy. "I thought sure it was Nixon!"

"I knew it wasn't, and that's why I tried to stop you," said Jack.

"Say, he's some mad," whispered Randy, as the language teacher strode
toward them. "I wonder what he'll do."

"How dare you boys attack me?" roared Asa Lemm, as he shook his fist at
the crowd. "How dare you do it?"

"It was all a mistake, Mr. Lemm," said Randy meekly.

"We didn't know it was you--really we didn't," came from Andy. "We
thought it was Bob Nixon. He likes to snowball with us."

"I do not believe a word of it!" cried the irate instructor. "How many
of you threw at me?" he questioned, glaring at the crowd.

To this there was no immediate answer, and then Randy stepped forward.

"I did, for one," he said.

"And so did I," came from his twin.

"Anybody else?"

"No. We were the only ones, Professor," answered Randy. "And I hope you
will overlook it this time," he continued. "We did not know it was you."

"Both of you report to me after school this afternoon," said the
instructor harshly; and then without another word he turned and tramped
off into the Hall.

"Now we are in for it, Andy," was Randy's dismal comment.

"Oh, well, he can't do any more than kill us," was the light-hearted
reply of the other.

"Do you want to be killed, Andy?" quizzed Jack.

"I know what he'll do," was Randy's comment. "He'll keep us both in and
give us extra lessons to learn." And in this surmise the fun-loving
Rover boy was correct. For their rashness in snowballing the teacher
they were made to stay in after school for two afternoons, and in
addition had two extra pages of Latin to translate.

"He's a lemon, if ever there was one," was what Andy said after his
punishment had come to an end. "Oh, wouldn't I just like to get square
with him!"

"We'll have to think something up, Andy," answered his twin.

Following the first fall of snow, came another, but then the sun came
out brightly, packing down the snow so that
