They had scented news as the eagle sights prey far below, and then swooped down on him. He continued his flight shaking off their harrying questions, but they kept up the running fight and at the door one of them reached his side with: "It's Mr. Woodbury of the Westfall Polo Club, son of Mr. John Woodbury of Anson Place?"
And the noise about and the big trees in back, and the faces that smiled at him as he passed, were as things seen and heard in a dream.... "William Conway, Anson Jenks, and George Winters, for Star Scout badge, and Merritt Roth and Edward Collins for bronze life saving medals. These scouts will please step forward."
"John, you an' Joe an' Hal ride back to meet the regular stage. An' when you meet it get on an' be on it when Anson holds it up." "Thet's shore agreeable to me," drawled John.

I dare say Ramon Alfarez can get a dozen men to perjure themselves as easily as he got those two." "Exactly. But I have a little coup that I intend to spring at the right moment."
