"He did me a good turn yesterday," said Glen. "I'd like to put him next."
"You can try it," agreed Will. "But Matt is one of the class of people who would rather be fooled than warned."
Glen ran along after the trio. The noise of his approach caught Matt's ear and he turned with a look of disgust on his face.
"You aren't in on this," he exclaimed angrily. "These two men are my friends and our business is private."
"I just wanted to tell you something, Burton," said Glen. "I'll go back as soon as I've said it."
"Fire away," instructed Matt. "The quicker you get rid of it and go the way you came, the better."
"Come over here and I'll tell you."
"These men are my friends, I tell you. Whatever you have to say to me they can hear."
"They're not scouts," objected Glen.
"You're not much of a one," retorted Matt.
