Captain Sedley clapped his hands at this evidence of good will on the part of the members, and the club all joined heartily in the demonstration. Three days before, the grand jury had found a bill against Tony; but his friends still continued to regard and treat him as an innocent person.

"Never mind it, Tony; here is the record-book," said Fred Harper, taking it from the library case.

Frank nodded to him to indicate that he had the floor. "I move that a committee of three be appointed to draft and report a constitution for the club." "Second the motion," added Sam Harper.
