CHAPTER XI

Do you mean to tell me that there's anything higher in scouting than the Eagle award ?" he asked defiantly, after a pause.

"Think I will ?" "I don't think, I know." "You mean you're _sure_ I will ?" "That's what I said." "_Positive ?_" "That's what I said." "Well, then I'd better get busy hunting for some tracks, hadn't I?
I've got to make good to _you_ as well as to my troop, haven't I ?" "You ask a lot of questions," said Tom in his funny, sober way.
