Stubbs looked at the lad with a peculiar smile on his face. He was silent several moments before replying:
"You don't know, eh?"
"Of course not."
Stubbs shrugged his shoulders and started out of the tent.
"Say!" Chester called after him, "are you going to tell us or not?"
"Not!" said Stubbs briefly, and was gone.
"Now what do you think of that?" demanded Chester of his chum.
"There's something wrong with him," was Hal's reply. "I haven't any idea what it can be."
"Suppose it is because we were poking fun at him the other night?"
"I don't know. I don't believe he would take a thing like that to heart.
However, you can't tell."
