The Hickory Ridge Boy Scouts: Under Canvas

"Toby, we must be half-way there now; don't you think so?" "Guess you're right about that, Mr. Scout Master; as near as I can calculate." "Glad to hear you say so, Toby, because, excuse me for saying it, but until I hear something that sounds like business I'm all up in the air. I've known you to fool your trusting scout comrades before this." "There you go, George Robbins, suspicious as ever. No wonder they call you Doubting George. You never will believe anything till you see it with your own eyes, and then you often wonder whether you're awake or dreaming. Now, I told Elmer here, our Assistant Scout Master, about my plan, and he took my word for it."
