"Be careful, boys," was all Ned said as Frank and Jimmie left on their dangerous mission. "Be careful!" After they had disappeared up the slope Ned turned to Jack. "You saw one act of the play yesterday," he said to him. "Suppose you come with me now and see another act." Jack came forward with outstretched hand and downcast face. "Say, Ned," he said, "I'm sore at myself!" "What's that for?"
