Part 6 (1/2)

Blythe was bunking in one of the shacks which he had secured the privilege of tearing down and it was apparent to the scouts that his knowledge of careatness of his scout heart, volunteered to be his guide, philosopher, and friend in these matters

”We'll show you how to do,” he said ”If there's anything you don't understand you just coe, and the astronoe--”

”He's an astronomer,” interrupted Roy; ”he knows all thein the sky,” Hunt Ward added; ”he's the one that put the see in sea-scout”

”Sure, and put the pie in pioneer scout too,” Roy said ”He studied first aid and last aid and le only he doesn't stand very high You stick to hi”

”Do you ?” the diminutive Raven demanded as he unburdened himself of his various paraphernalia

”Do you mean to say I didn't study the heavens when I was a tenderfoot?”

”No wonder the stars went out,” Roy said ”Here, take this bag of flour and put it over in the corner You're in Camp Merritt now, you have to obey your superior officer Here, take the spools of thread out of this coffee-pot and kick that big can over here, the one ar in that Anyone who takes any sugar without permission will be blown up by his patrol leader _Look what you're doing!_ Don't set the pickles on the chocolate Handpowder”

It was good to see Blythe laughing at Pee-wee's heroic effort to dispose of the commissary stores which his coenuine pleasure, almost childlike

”We'll have holue,” Roy answered ”_Look at hiot the powdered cocoanut all over the bacon!”

”Keep those things off me!” the victim shouted as the boxes and cans piled up on hiht car?”

”As he stooped to pick up a box a can went rolling under Blythe'sof beans burst like a sky-rocket, pouring a shower down his neck and into his pockets and over the floor

”_Now you see!_” he yelled ”The eggs are sliding down!”

”_Help, help!_” called several scouts

Pee-wee picked up two cans of sardines and sacrificed a bag of rice He gathered up rice and beans together, and a jar of jan travel All was confusion

”_Time!_” he screamed

”He asks for an armistice,” Roy shouted

”You mean a couple of dozen ar on s,” Pee-wee screamed

”I'll drop them so that they--they--_bounce_, too”

This threat of frightfulness cowered his assailants

”That's against international law,” Roy shouted
