There was an Indian's head stamped right in the mud.

It wasn't very plain, but I could see it was an Indian's head all right.

It was something like the Indian's head on a cent.
Oh, boy, I was all up in the air then, because I didn't understand how that could be there, Maybe you'll say that it was stamped there to show what make of shoes they were, but that's where you're wrong, because most of the sole was all worn away and the mark would be worn away, so somebody must have cut it there lately, that was one sure thing, and I couldn't understand why any body would want to cut that on an old worn-out shoe.
So I sat down on the edge of the float to think about it and then I saw two or three more just like it, and even more, too, only not all of them were so plain.

Believe me, I didn't know what to think.

Then all of a sudden I happened to remember that the Indian's head is the design of the scout pathfinder badge.
Jiminetty, but didn't I get down on my knees and study those some more.
