It was Dan Gilbert, who was making his way through the crowd to the great scout's side. Gilbert held a message from Arkansas City. It was to the effect that Pawnee Brown should telegraph to Washington at once and wait until noon at Arkansas City for a reply. Five minutes later Pawnee Brown was on the trail over which the wagon train had journeyed the night before.
He was curtly directed by Stanley to do as he was told, and unwillingly he turned his horse over to Scott and took the scout's better steed.
A good horse was selected, and the journey made without incident. General Sheridan was roused at daylight to receive the scout's report and praised Will warmly for having undertaken and safely accomplished three such long and dangerous rides.
The game scout's dog is the greatest shunka of them all! He has a mind near like that of a man. Let him lead the attack of his fellows, while we crawl up on the opposite side and surround the buffalo upon the slippery ice and in the deceitful mire," spoke up a third. So it was agreed that the game scout and his Shunka should lead the attack of the dogs.
Every one felt pleased on hearing this, since it would save Alec the trouble of snapping the pictures over again. Billy was taking things easy after getting up the midday meal, as he felt he had earned a rest. At the same time the fat scout's mind was busily employed. "I was just thinking," he finally broke out with, "what a lot of queer things have happened to us since we came up here.
There is a pretty dependable rule that if you can just manage to lift a weight with both hands, you can just about budge it with one hand. Tom had tried this at Temple Camp with a visiting scout's baggage chest. With both hands he had been barely able to lift it by its strap. With one hand he had been able to budge it for the fraction of a second.
Quick words passed between Scott and the Indian in the Sioux tongue. Bucks's hair rose on end until the confab quieted, and the scout's rifle came down. In an instant it was all over, but in that instant the Easterner had lived years. "It is all right," said Bob, turning to reassure his charge. "He is a young chief Iron Hand. I know his father. These three are alone.
A Scout is loyal to his country, his officers, his parents and his employers." "Wait a minute," interposed Jack, "until I land this fellow," and another fish was added to their mess. "All right, drive ahead." A Scout's duty is to be useful and help others. A Scout is a friend to ail, and a brother to every other Scout, no matter to what social class the other belongs. A Scout is courteous."
The "reviewing stand" was the post-office steps, around which most of the citizens of Hampton and the proud parents and relatives of the young scouts were assembled. Plenty of applause greeted them, as, in response to Rob's orders, given in the sharp, military manner, they drew up in line and gave the Boy Scout's salute.
"All right Shall we wear uniforms Bruce L'd'r Owl P't'r'l 3:12 p m," Bruce flashed back over the wire. "Yes careful don't get too wet G'd by Ford 3:14 p m," came the answer. "Cracky! Something interesting! Wonder what's up!" said Bruce excitedly, as he began calling on the loop telegraph wire that was connected to an instrument in every Scout's home.
