Believe me, he can make it shout.

He isn't so bad considering that he's a Raven and there's one good thing about him anyway--and that's that his mother always gives us cookies and things when we go on a hike.

I got a dandy mother, too, and maybe you'll see how much I think about her, kind of, in the next chapter.

Anyway I have to thank Wig Weigand, that's one sure thing.
Now maybe you think I did a good stunt in that marsh, but a scout doesn't get credit unless he uses his brains and does everything all right.

And that's where I fell down, and it came near making a lot of trouble, believe me.
Many's the time Tom Slade (he's in the war now) told me never to leave a scout sign after it wasn't any more use.
