“I don’t hit sissies,” said Lindylou.

did make me mad, though. He stood around watching the practice and rattling his silver dollar.“

“How’d you know it was a silver dollar?” demanded Encyclopedia.

“Who doesn’t know?” retorted Lindylou. “He was making so much noise I asked him to leave. That’s when he took off his clothes.”

“I’m having a nightmare,” moaned Chauncy.

“You told me you were going to trot a few miles,” Lindylou accused Chauncy. “You took off your clothes because you didn’t want to get them sweaty.”

Lindylou waved at a pile of clothes on the sidelines.

“You left them in a heap right on the field,” she said. “I moved them and folded them. No one has touched them but me. So don’t you dare say they’re wrinkled!”

Encyclopedia followed Chauncy to where his clothes lay on the grass in a neat pile.

“Better check all the pockets,” advised Encyclopedia.

Chauncy emptied every pocket. Out came a handkerchief, a sample of tan material for a new suit, the silver dollar, and a leather billfold.

“I had five dollars in my billfold,” said Chauncy. “It’s gone! And so is eighty cents in change. Lindylou robbed me!”

“Don’t talk so loud,” warned Encyclopedia. “You’ll make her mad.”

“I tell you, she’s beating her gums off time,” whispered Chauncy. “I didn’t drop my clothes to run. A lot of the football players must have seen her drag me into the woods.”

“They’ll say what Lindylou tells them to say,” replied Encyclopedia. “Never mind. We don’t need witnesses. I know who’s lying.”
