"I bet Lee will know," said Bill. "We will ask him."
"Who is Lee?" asked Horace
"My dad's orderly," said Bill. "He will drive father and mother in to-night when they come. Who are all these boys in blue suits? Look like bell boys."
"They are from the Indian school we passed on the way out," explained Frank.
"Lee knows a lot of the boys in that school," said Bill. "He is going to go over with me some day."
"How does he happen to know them?" asked Jardin.
"He is part Indian himself," explained Frank.
"A half-breed?" said Jardin. "They are awfully treacherous. Don't you feel afraid to have him around?"
Bill laughed. "I should say not! Why, Lee is the finest and best fellow I ever knew! He wouldn't lie to save his life. Dad says he can trust him with anything anywhere. Afraid? Well, you just don't know what you are talking about! Frank has got that afraid bee in his bonnet. It makes me sort of tired because I know what Lee is, and I am going to be for him every time and all the time."
"You always act as though it was a personal slam if anyone says the least thing about Lee," complained Frank.
