question: CHAPTER XVI 

THE BLOWING UP OF THE BRIDGE 

"Say, this is something fierce, Dave!" 

"I agree with you, Roger. I don't see how we are going to do such a long lesson." 

"Old Haskers is getting worse and worse," growled Phil. "I think we ought to report it to Doctor Clay." 

"Just what I think," came from Ben. "He keeps piling it on harder and harder. I think he is trying to break us." 

"Break us?" queried our hero, looking up from his book. 

"Yes, make us miss entirely, you know." 

"Why should he want us to do that?" asked Roger. 

"Then we wouldn't be able to graduate this coming June." 

"Would he be mean enough to do that?" asked Dave. 

"I think he would be mean enough for anything," responded Phil. "Oh, I am not going to stand it!" he cried. 

The boys had just come upstairs, after an extra hard session in their Latin class. All were aroused over the treatment received at the hands of Job Haskers. He had been harsh and dictatorial to the last degree, and several times it had looked as if there might be an outbreak. 

The next day the outbreak came. Phil sprang up in class and denounced the unreasonable teacher, and Ben followed. Then Dave and Roger took a hand, and so did Buster and several others. 

"Sit down! Sit down!" cried Job Haskers, growing white in the face. "Sit down, and keep quiet." 

"I won't keep quiet," answered the shipowner's son. "You are treating us unfairly, Mr. Haskers, and I won't stand for it."

CHAPTER XXVIII. 

BACK TO THE VILLAGE. 

"Never mind, let them go," said Andy, as he saw the mountaineer make a movement as if to follow the retreading pair. "I do not think that they have any of the stolen things in their possession." 

"But they ought to be locked up," insisted Ramson. "Such thieves ought never to be allowed their liberty." 

"I agree with you, but as matters stand, we cannot bother to follow them just now." 

"Maybe this fellow will tell us who they were. I didn't get a square look at them," went on the mountaineer, who felt sore to think the pair had gotten away thus easily. 

"Yes, I imagine we can learn from Barberry who they are," put in Matt, as he caught the pretended doctor by the arm. "Don't you try to run," he added. 

Paul Barberry appeared greatly disconcerted. He had not expected this sudden turn of affairs, and he knew not what to say or do. 

"March him up to the wagon and light the other lantern," said Andy. "I see the fire is going out." 

"I'll soon fix that," returned Ramson, and he threw on some dry twigs, causing the fire to blaze up merrily. "They were making themselves quite at home." 

"What are you going to do with me?" asked Barberry sullenly, as he found himself surrounded, with no hope of escape.

input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. The Nintendo DS or simply, DS, is a 32-bit dual-screen handheld game console developed and released by Nintendo. The device went on sale in North America on November 21, 2004. The DS, short for "Developers' System" or "Dual Screen", introduced distinctive new features to handheld gaming: two LCD screens working in tandem (the bottom one featuring a touchscreen), a built-in microphone, and support for wireless connectivity. Both screens are encompassed within a clamshell design similar to the Game Boy Advance SP. The Nintendo DS also features the ability for multiple DS consoles to directly interact with each other over Wi-Fi within a short range without the need to connect to an existing wireless network. Alternatively, they could interact online using the now-closed Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Its main competitor was Sony's PlayStation Portable as part of the seventh generation era. It was likened to the Nintendo 64 from the 1990s, which led to several N64 ports such as "Super Mario 64 DS", "Diddy Kong Racing DS", among others. 

Prior to its release, the Nintendo DS was marketed as an experimental, "third pillar" in Nintendo's console lineup, meant to complement the Game Boy Advance and GameCube. However, backward compatibility with Game Boy Advance titles and strong sales ultimately established it as the successor to the Game Boy series. On March 2, 2006, Nintendo launched the Nintendo DS Lite, a slimmer and lighter redesign of the original Nintendo DS with brighter screens. On November 1, 2008, Nintendo released the Nintendo DSi, another redesign with several hardware improvements and new features. All Nintendo DS models combined have sold 154.02 million units, making it the best selling handheld game console to date, and the second best selling video game console of all time behind Sony's PlayStation 2.
