Babe Adams had just stepped over to get a last drink at the near-by spring, when the others were surprised to see him come tearing back again, evidently in great excitement. "Paul, come over here with me, and you can see it!" he called out. "See what?" demanded the scoutmaster, at the same time climbing to his feet.
"Probably dumped in here by a couple of men who have returned from a scouting expedition," said Hal. "By George!" exclaimed Chester suddenly. "What is it now?" demanded Hal.

I'd rather do that than come out," she added. "You are going to be a good girl, Lily, aren't you?" "If that means letting grandfather use me for a doormat, I don't know." "Lily!"

They had an early breakfast, and, as Tom went out to the barn to look at his car, he saw it surrounded by a curious throng of men and boys. One of the boys was turning some of the handles and levers. "Here! Quit that!" yelled Tom, and the meddlesome lad leaped down in fright. "Do you want to start the car and have it smash into something?" demanded the young inventor.
And Moses anon took it, and cast it under his feet and trod on it, wherefore the king was wroth, and demanded of the great doctors and magicians what should fall of this child. And they kalked on his nativity and said: This is he that shall destroy thy reign and put it under foot, and shall rule and govern the Hebrews. Wherefore the king anon decreed that he should be put to death.
