CHAPTER XXI
STRANGE NOISES
Left to himself Randy tramped up and down slowly along the post assigned to him. The distance was several hundred feet, and at either end he met another guard. One of these was Codfish, and it must be admitted that the sneak of Colby Hall was thoroughly scared.
“I don’t like this at all,” Codfish declared, when he and Randy met. “There’s a terrible wind sighing through those trees.”
“Have you seen anybody?” questioned Randy.
“I thought I did, but I’m not sure whether it was some person or an animal.”
“When was that?”
“Nearly an hour ago.”
