Mr.Temple's remarks to this young hero were flattening in the last degree---- "You mean flattering," Pee-wee shouted.
"Excuse myself," said Roy.
and it was decided to give Hervey the award, because Scout Harris proved excruciatingly--I mean exclusively--I mean conclusively--that a bird is an animal just the same as Mr.Temple is, only different---- "Let me see that!" shouted Pee-wee.

"You make me sick! Where is it ?" "Here's something to interest you more," Roy said; "here's the real stuff--a kidnapping.

A kid was taking a nap and got kidded." "Where ?" Pee-wee demanded.
"There," Roy said, pointing triumphantly to a heading which put the Temple Camp notice in the shade.

"Just read that." But for that sensational article, doubtless Hervey would have been more of a newspaper hero instead of being stuck down in a corner.

The article was indeed one to arouse interest and call for big headings, and the scouts, gathered about Roy, peered over his shoulders and read it eagerly.
