CHAPTER I
TWO SCHOOL FRIENDS
Two boys were walking in the campus of the Bridgeville Academy. Theywere apparently of about the same age—somewhere from fifteen tosixteen—but there was a considerable difference in their attire.
Herbert Grant was neatly but coarsely dressed, and his shoes were ofcowhide, but his face indicated a frank, sincere nature, and wasexpressive of intelligence.
His companion was dressed in a suit of fine cloth, his linen was of thefinest, his shoes were calfskin, and he had the indefinable air of a boywho had been reared in luxury.
He had not the broad, open face of his friend—for the two boys wereclose friends—but his features were finely chiseled, indicating a shareof pride, and a bold, self-reliant nature.
He, too, was an attractive boy, and in spite of his pride possessed awarm, affectionate heart and sterling qualities, likely to endear him tothose who could read and understand him.
