"Did you have any trouble, Ben?" asked Wilbur.
"One little fire, walk, walk, walk away into the woods. But I stopped him."
"Alone?"
The half-witted lad nodded. Then, coming over to Wilbur, he pointed to the rude bandages and said questioningly:
"Tumble?"
"No, Ben," replied the other boy, "I got into a mix-up with a bob-cat."
"I fight, too. Wait, I show you something."
He disappeared for a moment and then came back with two wolf pups, carrying one in each hand as he might a kitten.
"I got five more," he said.
"Where did you get 'em, Ben?" asked the Ranger.
