The place was in possession of spiders. Whole boards of the flooring had rotted, yielding like mud under the feet of the scouts. "Some place," said Connie Bennett. "Oh, here's a dime," Pee-wee shouted reaching under an open space in the flooring. "I can get a soda with that." "Here's another," said Westy.
I said, "It's me, Westy; the reason I didn't come around was because all the other fellows were here. But now you're alone I want to tell you that I'm glad you're not hurt bad." He just looked at me and he said, "I went I did it." First I didn't know what to say, and then I said, "Never you mind, I guess you were kind of crazy. We all get crazy sometimes.
He took from his pocket a sort of huge wallet, and fumbling among its multifarious contents pulled out an old faded paper, which he opened. Roy and Westy, who stood nearest to him could read it plainly enough and see two pictures, profile and front face, which it displayed: WANTED FOR MURDER FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS Was last seen in New York where he tried to enlist for military service.
I told you about our old launch, but it's too shallow to use a launch up as far as Northside Woods. "We towed the saplings and started down stream" All the fellows were there except Skinny, because the doctor made him stay home on account of being all played out. I bet that doctor had some scrap with him. One thing sure, Westy and I stuck together.
I don't say that just because he's a Silver Fox, because I have to admit that Artie Van Arlen and Wig Weigand are heroes, and they're not Silver Foxes. But, honest, Westy is a winner when it comes to tracking, and you've got to remember that, because now I'm going to tell you some other things about him and maybe you won't know just what to think.
The next thing I knew there was a loud splash and I heard the spring-board down on the shore crack, and when I looked there I could see it jumping up and down. I knew what that meant. "Who dived?" Westy shouted; "he must be crazy! He can't make it. Hurry up, let's get a boat out! Do you hear the voice now?" After that everything seemed to happen all in a jumble.
Ansell and Westy Gaines were foremost would hardly have believed how small a part her personal charms had played in attracting him. Amherst was still under the power of the other kind of beauty the soft graces personifying the first triumph of sex in his heart and Justine's dark slenderness could not at once dispel the milder image.
I've got two nickel-plated oar-locks that my patrol gave me on troop birthday, and I keep them in my tent except when I go to camp. Westy was telling Skinny how fine he looked and, oh, gee, Skinny was happy, you could see that. Of course, he didn't look very good, I have to admit it, but he had a smile a mile long.
I know he meant Westy and he's the one fellow I'd want to vote for me, anyway, you can bet. I don't care what happens, I don't, if Westy will only vote for me. Because he's one real scout and none of the rest of you know anything about scouting alongside of him You don't. And anyway I don't care so much if I'm not leader any more, if I could only be sure you'd elect him leader "
He's on the Local Council. When Westy and I went up to our row to sit down, nobody said anything to us at all, not even the fellows in our own patrol. Ralph Warner was sitting in my seat at the end, and he said, kind of cold like, "Do you want to sit down here?" "Of course I want to sit down there," I told him; "I'm the leader of this patrol. Where should I sit?"
