It's an important letter, it feels as if it had a couple of cookies in it." The postman knew Pee-wee. "Here you go," the torturer said grimly, "take it or not, suit yourself." "Can't you see both hands are busy?" the victim pled.
Gee whiz, nobody can say that I ever butt in when a patrol is breaking in a tenderfoot. That's one thing I wouldn't do. I wouldn't even have bothered to tell you about it at all, except that it had momentous consequences that's what Pee-wee said. At supper there was a big round flat piece of wood tied with a rope at my place and on it was printed "Sneaker's Badge."
The willing assistance of his new friend would leave his own time free for more important duties, and the advertising work once done, Licorice Stick was to devote his time to catching fish for the "sto" and other incidental duties. Pee-wee now arranged his advertising masterpieces in order for posting. The imposing type on the cards impressed Licorice Stick deeply.
Out of Pee-wee's wrath and anguish came an inspiration. "Stick the letter in the banana," he said, holding the banana down. "I don't know about that," the postman said, ruefully. "I know about it," Pee-wee thundered down at him. "You said I had to take it or not; that letter belongs to me and you, have to deliver it. This banana, it's it's the same as a mail box you stick the letter in the banana.
"Leave them to me, I'll fix it," Pee-wee announced vociferously. "That relieves us," said Scoutmaster Ned, lying back on the ground, after sitting up to inspect the approaching boat; "we are safe in the hands of Scout Harris. Let them come. We should worry our young lives." The boat made straight for the new camp, and it appeared to contain two men.
Over a partly fallen arch, under which many reluctant feet had passed, Pee-wee could just make out the graven words: WEST KETCHEM PUBLIC SCHOOL. West Ketchem. So that was where he was. But he had never heard of West Ketchem. The fame of this lakeside metropolis had not penetrated to surging Bridgeboro. At least it had' not penetrated to the surging mind of Scout Harris.
Joe wouldn't go in swimming on account of his mother; couldn't force him to it, so there you are." "And he's going to school Monday," said Pee-wee; "because I met his teacher in the the eh the store." "Candy store?" "How did you know?" Pee-wee gasped. "Just an inspiration," said Townsend. "And I told her he's going to school every single day after this," said Pee-wee.
The cruise to camp must be made; let nothing interfere with that. If some of you boys wish to go into the city in the morning you may have the pleasure of purchasing Skinny's outfit. I would suggest that the Silver Foxes do this in order that their gift may go complete to their comrades of the Elks. I think I have your scoutmaster's permission to do this." "Sure you have!" Pee-wee shouted.
"Don't you know the old man's on, that he wanted to stop at Pee-Wee to meet the G.M. this morning, that a whole engineering outfit will be idle there for half a day, and you'll get the guillotine?" "Whew, you have shore got 'em." "Isn't your bell working?" asked a big man who had joined the group under the cab window. "I think so, sir," said the driver, as he recognized the superintendent.
He was not thinking of the "constituted authorities," he was not thinking of the crap-shooters either; his back was turned to them and his all seeing eye was fixed on the distant street corner. He was thinking of Keekie Joe and of how Keekie Joe had tried to obey one of the good scout laws by being faithful to a trust. And there you have Pee-wee Harris in a nut-shell . . .
