"He's there yet, because I saw him move while I waited for you, Paul," he said, in an eager tone.
"I've got him," answered the scout leader, as his hands became rigid.
After a brief look he lowered the glasses.
"Well, who is it?" demanded Jack.
For answer his chum offered him the glasses; and presently Jack had his eyes glued to the smaller end.
When he lowered them a short time later his eyes met those of his chum. Both of them laughed, as though they had exchanged their views in that glance.
"Ted Slavin?" said Paul.
"Just as sure as fate," went on Jack; "and much interested in our doings. That of course means trouble for us at any time. I believe all those fellows have come up here for is to pick quarrels with us. But Mr. Gordon will know how to handle them when he gets here."
"Meanwhile," said Paul, seriously, "we must be on our guard against a sudden attack. We don't want the name of our camp to mean that we were taken unawares. We'll have things fixed so the boot will be on the other foot, if they try to surprise us."
