There are strangers
in the vicinity, I guess."
Frank wondered if the dogs had barked at the stranger who had been at the
Dent house a little while before, but he said nothing about it, and, soon
went to bed.
As the chums had anticipated, the breaking-up of the Upside Down Club
dance created more talk among the High School pupils than had anything
else in the line of sports and fun since the institution was built. The
members of the ball team, and their friends, who had been let into the
secret, preserved a discreet silence about the affair, and would answer
no questions.
Although it was generally believed that the four chums had been the prime
instigators of the affair, they would admit nothing, and many were the
conjectures about the mice.
As for the girls, after their first fright, they laughed as heartily as
did the boys over the sudden ending of the dance. The only pupils who
seemed angry over the matter were the boys on the dance committee, who
were incensed at the breaking up of the affair.
"I know those Darewell Chums had the most to do with it," said Denny
Thorp, who was the leader of the crowd that had captured Ned.
