"It's ail right," conceded Pepper, "as far as it goes," looking longingly about him.
"You think there wasn't enough of it," laughed the colonel. "You have a real Scout appetite."
"To change the subject, what about uniforms?" inquired Jack.
"We will have to have them, I suppose," replied Gerald.
"Sure," returned Pepper; "that's all right, they won't cost much."
"I have an idea," broke in Rand.
"Clutch it, Randolph, ere it flies!" cried Pepper; "what is it?"
"I think," went on Rand, "that it would be a good idea if we, each one of us, earned the money ourselves to buy our uniforms."
"'Tis no a bad idea," assented Donald.
"I think it is a very good one," commended the colonel. "You have caught the spirit of the organization."
