"In a day or two. If you could manage to get hold of that paper the job might be done in a jiffy."
"But Joe an' Bill have got it."
"S'posen they have. A smart lad like you oughter find some way to get at it, an' it would be worth your while to try."
"It couldn't be done."
"P'raps not by you; but I know of some, no older than you, who'd have it before morning. Of course, I don't blame a boy for not tryin' when he hasn't the nerve——"
"See here," Skip cried, impatiently, "haven't I showed grit enough to do most anything?"
"If you have, prove it by gettin' hold of that paper."
"I can't see what you want it for?"
"Because it shows us all the levels. With it we can tell jest where to begin work."
