"And they have to save lives too, don't they?" the little codger piped up.
"Why, yes, you seem to have it all down pat," Mr. Denny said.
"We've got one of them in our troop," the little fellow said; "he's a hero."
"Well, I hope he reads the handbook and obeys the scout laws," said Mr. Denny significantly.
"I'm always going to have good luck," the little fellow said, rather irrelevantly. "I got a charm, too. Want to see it?"
"I think we'd better see if we can get to camp and find some hot stew," said Mr. Denny.
"That's the kind of a charm for me," said one of the scouts.
So it fell out that on this occasion, as on most others, Goliath was not permitted to dig down into the remote recess of his pocket to show that wonderful charm.
