“Miss Nora,” ejaculated Harvey, “allow me to congratulate you. You’re a dead game sport,” and he wrung her hands heartily, after which Teddy Kip grasped her by the arm saying:
“Why, Miss Casey, you’re a regular Scout—you are, and no mistake.”
Nora smiled faintly.
“Thank you all,” she said. “I am very tired. I think I shall go to bed. Good night.”
CHAPTER X
A HEROINE
So Nora Casey became the heroine of the Camp. An account of her bravery was in all the papers and the entire Camp was written up. The once neglected and disliked girl was now in a fair way to be spoiled. But Nora could not be spoiled. She was too sensible.

Nora laughed good naturedly.
“Quit yere blarney,” she said.
