She is an angel, if ever there was one. Mrs. Sinclair is coming this morning, so she wrote. She will be terribly disappointed in Whyn." Often during the day the captain went to see if the logs he had gathered during the night were safe.
She holds her head so high, and steps so big and mighty, that she thinks she's doing the Lord a great service by coming. Tommy'll get his suit, never fear. Mrs. Bunker will see to that." "Billy Potter comes next," Whyn hastened to explain, "and Joe Martin, and Phil Dexter, and " "There, that will do," and Miss Arabella sniffed in a most significant manner. "I know the whole tribe.
It was only natural, however, that Rod should form the principal object of conversation. In fact, Miss Royanna led the girl on to talk about him, and the mother's heart was made happy as Whyn told how kind Rod was to her, and what a fine boy he really was. "Will you write to me, dear?" the singer asked, as she bade the girl good-bye. "Oh, may I?" and Whyn's face glowed with pleasure.
A deep gloom settled suddenly over the scouts after Whyn left. The enthusiasm and excitement of the last few days had departed, leaving them much depressed. They had little to work for now, as all hope of winning the prize was gone. Their logs had been sold, and the money placed in the bank where it would remain until needed for the sick girl.
"He's the very man who was knocked down and robbed in the city, Whyn." "What man?" "Jimmy. He's out there. His whiskers are all off, and I knew him the instant I got my eyes on him." "Does the captain know that?" Whyn questioned, after a moment's thought. "Isn't it strange that Jimmy should have been helped twice by our troop? How delighted Captain Josh will be."
"No?" the old man repeated, while his heart sank low. "I didn't see him, and I didn't intend to." "But what about Whyn, Jimmy? Didn't ye promise me that " "Oh, that's all right," and the son gave a short laugh. "I have the money, and isn't that enough?" "Ye've got the money, ye say?" the captain asked in astonishment, stopping abruptly, and looking keenly into the young man's face.
"Not exactly, Miss Arabella," and Rod gave a little chuckle. "You might smile more than you do, but I don't think you could whistle. But maybe you can. Did you ever try?" "No, I never did," was the snapping reply, "and I detest girls and women who can." "But Whyn whistles," Rod explained, "and I'm sure you'd like her if you saw her. You ought to see her, Miss Arabella.
As they were leaving, Rod went close to Whyn and whispered: "I'm going to be a scout, and get Captain Josh to help." "How nice," and the girl's smile of encouragement followed him as he left the room. Rod was greatly excited over what Whyn had told him about the boy scouts, and on the way home he plied Parson Dan with numerous questions. "Didn't you ever hear of them before, grandad?" he asked.
Whenever the captain was in doubt as to what he should do, he always consulted with Whyn, for he found that she had excellent ideas, and remembered so much of what her brother Douglas had told her. Her joy was even greater than the captain's when she learned that a troop was to be formed, and she planned all sorts of things for the boys to do. Just as the work was well under way, Mrs.
Such an active life had he always led that to be confined to the house was hard for him to endure. Whyn was also able to be present, and sat in the big chair the captain had made, and watched with interest all that took place. She made a few wreaths herself, though she was not able to do much, as she tired very quickly.
