E-text prepared by Al Haines "Frank Merriwell's Chums" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the late 19th century. It follows the adventures of Frank Merriwell, a popular cadet at Fardale Military Academy, and his friends Bartley Hodge, Hans Dunnerwust, and Barney Mulloy. The story delves into themes of friendship, moral dilemmas, and the temptations of youth against a backdrop of school life at a military academy. At the start of the novel, the cadets return to Fardale Military Academy, and Frank Merriwell and Bartley Hodge are assigned to room together despite their previous differences. Their living arrangement highlights both their unique personalities—Frank being orderly and fun-loving, while Bart is more careless and laid-back. As they navigate academy life, a central conflict arises regarding the temptations of gambling, with Frank battling his inner struggles after relapsing into card games. The opening sets the stage for Frank's challenges, his relationships with his friends, and the foreshadowing of darker influences that threaten to ensnare him in the world of gambling.
