"You can't pal with him, that's one thing," another observed.
"That's because you can't keep up with him; even Mr. Denny has a sneaky liking for him."
"Do you know what one of his troop told me? He told me he always wears that crazy hat to school when he's home. Some nut!"
"Reckless, happy-go-lucky, that's what he is."
"Come on over and let's look on the bulletin board."
They all strolled, half idly, to the bulletin board which stood outside the main pavilion. It was a rule of camp that every scout should read the announcements there each afternoon. Then there would be no excuse for ignorance of important matters pertaining to camp plans. Upon the board were tacked several announcements, a hike for the morrow, letters uncalled for, etc. Conspicuous among these was the following:
Hervey Willetts will report immediately to his scoutmaster at troop's cabin, upon his arrival at camp.
Wm. C. Denny.
