With fast-beating heart he rushed into Whyn's room, much to the girl's surprise, for he was in the habit of entering quietly. "Why, Rod, what's the matter?" she inquired. "You look half frightened to death." "It's him, Whyn!" he exclaimed. "I'm sure of it." "Who is it? What do you mean?" the girl asked. "Sit down, and be sensible."
Whyn was ever before him, and he thought of her lying there in her little room. Why should she die? he reasoned. The scouts wanted her, and so did her mother. He tossed for a long time upon his pillow, and when he did at last fall into a fitful slumber, he dreamed of Whyn, and the money the scouts had earned. They seemed to be mixed up in some funny way.
The captain held it for awhile, and Whyn was content to let it remain there. "How are ye feelin', little one?" he asked. "Tired," was the reply. "But mamma is coming to-morrow, and I must be better when she is here." "Sure, sure. But we're goin' to have ye better all the time soon, so keep up courage."
When I put that key down your neck, Miss Arabella, it was only my good turn which I was doing. Captain Josh said it was the best thing to do to stop nose bleeding. Now, if you'd go to see Whyn that would be your good turn, see?" "H'm, I guess I've got all I can do to look after myself without trying to do good turns to others," the woman sniffed.
The scouts practised hard for the important event, and Captain Josh spared no pains in his efforts to drill them as thoroughly as possible. Each one had now passed the tenderfoot tests, and were ready for their badges. They had also earned the money for their suits, and it was a great day when all appeared before Whyn dressed in their complete uniforms.
I shall be pleased to receive as many berries as you can send, and will give you market prices for the same. "Yours respectfully, "PETER McDUFF." This was the first business letter Rod had ever received and he was delighted. After showing it to Mr. and Mrs. Royal, he rushed over to tell the good news to Captain Josh and Whyn. The latter was much pleased, and she gave him some sound advice.
She seemed to be in no hurry about going away, and this pleased the boy, as he wanted her to stay until after Christmas. They were to have a big time on Christmas Day, so he told her. Captain Josh and the scouts were coming for dinner, and perhaps Whyn would be home. One day Rod noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Royal seemed happier than usual when they came into his room.
Britt were to go as far as St. John. But before leaving, Whyn had one special request to make. She wanted to see the scouts, to thank them and to bid them good-bye. They came the evening before she left, and filed silently into her room. It had been months since they had seen her, and all were shocked to see how she had failed.
He waited until the rest were through before speaking. "Let us leave it to Whyn," he at last suggested. "She always has some plan, and will know what we might do first." "That's good," the captain agreed. "We can't do better than that." "Oh, I don't know," the girl laughingly replied. "You might make a mistake if you let me choose." "No, no," came in chorus. "You'll do all right."
It was a cool refreshing spot, this little room, where the bright-faced girl received her visitors. Captain Josh was not present, as he had work to do in his garden. Whyn greeted the boys with a smile, and after they had seated themselves upon chairs and the floor, she plunged at once into the subject of special interest. "Let's give a concert," she abruptly began. "A what?" the boys exclaimed.
