"Where's Ty?" asked Elmer, as upon looking around he failed to discover the figure of his late assistant.
"He's gone in!" declared Landy, seeming to be a little appalled by something he had witnessed.
"Gone in where?" continued the other, hardly understanding what was meant.
"He rushed right into the house like he'd lost his senses, Elmer; whatever do you think made him act like that?" Landy replied.
The patrol leader looked aghast.
"I'm sure I don't know," he replied, "unless he heard that some one was in there, and might be smothered or burned. But it was a nervy thing for Ty to do. I only hope he comes out again all right!"
