He spied a pair of fine field glasses lying on the ground, and picked them up with an exclamation of delight. "Great Jehosephat," he said, turning them over for careful inspection. "Ain't this a puddin'? Just the thing to give the Cap. He got his smashed with a bullet comin' through the abatis, and's bin mournin' about 'em ever since.
