"Tried to kiss you?" questioned Walter.

"Yes. Stuck his cold nose right against my nose. Ugh! Didn't he, John?"

The Indian nodded, but without realizing what Stacy was saying.

"Why didn't you shoot him?" asked Butler.

"Gun in other tent," replied Charlie.

"Yes. And we don't need guns. I was going to use my trusty knife, but I didn't want to hurt the poor thing." added Chunky.

"Brave man," remarked Ned.

"I am glad I wasn't here," said Walter. "I know I should have been scared half to death. Weren't you scared, Chunky?"

"What! Me scared?" demanded the fat boy, throwing out his chest. "Did you ever hear of Stacy Brown being scared? Oh, wow! Yeow!"

"What, what, what—-" shouted the Professor.
