Chapter VII
PHIL AND BEN MAKE A MOVE So far Dave and Nat Poole had not met face to face. Our hero had seen the money-lender's son a number of times, but Nat had always been with some of his cronies and had, apparently, not taken any notice. But on the morning following the conversation just recorded, the pair came face to face in one of the narrow hallways. "Good-morning, Nat," said Dave, pleasantly. "Morning," grumbled the other student.
