Mabie say he expected mail
to-day, and, for one, I'll be mighty glad to hear from the folks,"
sighed Bluff.
"What? Not getting homesick already, I hope?" smiled his chum.
"Certainly not, only a fellow naturally likes to hear from his mom and
dad when he's away so far," declared Bluff stoutly.
"Yes, and also from some other fellow's sister, in the bargain. Nellie
never finds time to write to me when I'm away, leaving all that to the
old folks; but I notice that you always manage to get a letter in her
handwriting."
"Well, I made her solemnly promise to write every other day, you see,"
explained Bluff, while he suddenly became red in the face, hurrying off
to get his mail.

"Here's something enclosed in my letter, and directed to Mr. Frank
Langdon. Does anybody know a fellow by that name?" asked Will, holding
up a delicate envelope that seemed to exhale a fragrance all its own.
