No more mysterious sounds or ghostly
appearances had been heard or seen. The sun was scarcely up when they
were aroused by a trampling of feet and the sounds of well-known voices
in the corridor. A rap fell on Merry's door.
"Arise, ye sleepers, and wake--I mean, awake, ye sleepers, and rise!"
shouted Harry Rattleton.
"Come out here and let me pull you out of bed!" grunted Bruce Browning.
"He is sleeping like the sleeper in the sleeper which runs over the
sleeper and does not awaken the sleeper in the sleeper which----"
"You give us that sleepy feeling yourself, Danny!" Bink Stubbs grumbled.
Merry tumbled out of bed, unlocked the door, and thrust his head into
the corridor. Before him were Bruce and Diamond, Rattleton and Dismal
Jones, Bink and Danny, and through the half-open door leading into the
office he also caught a glimpse of Elsie Bellwood and Bernard Burrage.
"Glad to see you!" he cried. "Where did you tumble from?"
Bart had his door open now, and began to ask questions.
"I'll be out in a minute," Frank promised, and began to dress with the
speed of a lightning-change artist. A little later Merriwell's entire
party gathered in the hotel office, for Inza had been awakened and
joined them.
Mutual explanations flew thick and fast.
