“Tell him,” said Ken, quickly.
“What?” groaned Kel, in fright.
“Tell him. Let me tell him for you.”
“No—no—no. He'd fire me off the team, and I couldn't stand that.”
“I'll bet Worry wouldn't do anything of the kind. Maybe he knows more than you think.”
“I'm afraid to tell him, Ken. I just can't tell him.”
“But you gave your word of honor not to break training. The only thing left is to confess.”
“I won't tell, Ken. It's not so much my own place on the team—there are the other fellows.”
