"Let's give it," the rest shouted in unison; "every cent of it." "But what about the prize?" the captain asked. "Let it go," was the general response. "And the motor-boat?" "We can do without that, eh, boys?" This from Rod. "Yes, yes. Hurrah for Whyn!" and the scouts in their loyal enthusiasm threw their caps into the air, and shouted at the top of their voices.
Two weeks after the scout book arrived the Hillcrest troop of boy scouts was formed, with Captain Josh as scoutmaster, and Rod as patrol leader. Whyn had much to do with this, and her enthusiasm inspired and encouraged the others. News soon spread among the rest of the boys in the parish of what was taking place, and it was not long before several more asked to become members.
His voice was lower and softer than the scouts had ever heard it as he mentioned this, and they knew that he was deeply grieved over the girl's condition. Their interest at winning so much money was now lessened. Their hearts were touched at the news about Whyn, and they left Headquarters in a quieter manner than they had done in many a day. Rod was more deeply moved than the rest of the scouts.
She complied with the request, and is now here." What more the clergyman said Whyn did not know. With a half-smothered cry of delight, she leaned as far as she could toward the window in order to catch the first glimpse of the wonderful woman. Tears came suddenly into her eyes as the meaning of what the scouts had done flashed into her mind.
"But ye'll have to behave yerself, young woman," the captain replied. "No more lyin' awake at night, remember, worryin' about the scouts. And ye've got to eat more than ye have in the past." "Oh, no fear of that," and Whyn laughed merrily. "I am going to eat so much that you will be glad to send me away." It did not take the captain long to get the scouts down to steady work.
Soldiers send messages that way, so I understand, and they can warn one another when an enemy is near." "My, I would like to know that," and Rod gave a deep sigh. "I wonder if Captain Josh knows anything about it. I am going to ask him, anyway." "There are many other things the scouts have to learn," Whyn explained, "and they are very important." "What are they?" "I don't exactly know.
Wouldn't Whyn be surprised and delighted?" "But who's going to ask her?" Phil enquired. "Father's going to the city on Wednesday, for I heard him say so this morning. Maybe he would see her." "But we mustn't let him know anything about it," Rod warned. "Why couldn't you go with him, Phil?" "I wouldn't like to go alone," was the reply. "She'd scare me, and I wouldn't know what to say.
"And you were able to see everything from the window. How nice." "And I heard you sing, too," Whyn replied. "Oh, it was great, and so good of you to come. I can never thank you enough." "Don't try," and the woman smiled. "The enjoyment has been all on my side. It is the best time I have had in years."
"How much do you think we will make, Whyn?" one of the boys asked. "Can't we have something bigger than that? It will take a long time to earn much money that way." "It will be a beginning, though," was the quiet reply. "We must not expect to raise all the money at once. After we are through with this we can try something else.
But it was her eyes which attracted Parson Dan's special attention as he shook hands with her, and inquired after her daughter. "Oh, Whyn came out of the affair the best of all," and a smile illumined Mrs. Sinclair's face. "I was greatly worried about her last night, but she seems none the worse for her experience. Would you like to see her?
