"That's all right!" laughed George, "when Tommy comes back, we'll have him get out his dream book and read you to sleep!"
"Yes," Will said gravely, "when Tommy comes back with the surgeon."
"It would be a rotten proposition, wouldn't it, if Tommy should get back with the surgeon before we found Bert?"
"It certainly would," answered Will.
"Tommy can't possibly get back before some time tomorrow night," Sandy argued, "and we ought to be able to find the boy before that time!"
"Especially as Will has a perfect description of the outlaw," said George with a wink at Sandy.
Then the boy added with a laugh:
"Go on, Will, and tell us how you know the man's size and weight."
"Yes," Sandy broke in. "Tell us how you know he's exactly five feet six. You weren't here to measure him!"
"The wall measured him!" replied Will.
