"Tell us where you think you saw them," the assistant scout master continued.

"At Prady's," answered Adam, promptly.

"Brady's—why, that's where we get our milk," spoke up Landy.

"Sure it is," declared Ty. "That's funny now; I never remember setting eyes on anybody answering that description; and I've been over there twice."

"Yeth," declared Ted, "and I can thay the thame thing."

"You think you can; but you're away off, Ted," grinned Ty, who never grew weary of nagging the other on that lisp, with which he was afflicted.

"When did you see them, Adam?" asked Elmer, paying no attention to any of these side remarks.

"Vy, berhaps you may remember, Elmer, dot dis very evening I vant to go py der voods vonce, und get dot milk.

"Well, we're drinking some of it in our coffee this meal, so that goes without saying," the other replied.

"Tell us about the men—where were they when you saw them, Adam?" Elmer went on.
