He was a stranger, and they imagined he came from a more advanced
college near by, which impression was heightened when he volunteered his
services and suggested many improvements in the "trap." When completed,
the boys and their new friend moved away some distance, to await the
result of the "initiation." Two hours passed in uncomfortable silence,
and then one of the leaders said, "I don't believe he'll come to-night."
"Oh, yes," said the stranger, pleasantly; "the truth is, he _has_ come."
"What!" cried the boys. "In fact," continued the young man, "I am
Professor Cheltenham, and I hope our relations will continue to be
agreeable. I am sorry to have disappointed you by coming by an earlier
train; but I am glad, because it has made us acquainted in a very
effective way!" You may imagine that the boys were amazed, and you will
believe that they tried no more tricks on the professor of mathematics.
