ROY BLAKELEY'S BEE-LINE HIKE

CHAPTER I

WE LOSE A MEMBER

Now I'm going to tell you about the bee-line hike. Maybe you'll say you
don't believe everything I tell you about it, but one thing sure, it's a
straight story. It wasn't so long, that hike, but--_oh, boy!_

Now the first thing I have to do in this story is to get rid of Charlie
Seabury. That's easy. Then the next thing I have to do is to tell you
about Pee-wee Harris. Gee whiz, I wish we could get rid of him. That kid
belongs in the Raven Patrol and when those fellows went up to Temple
Camp they wished him on us for the summer. They said it was a good turn.
Can you beat that? I suppose we've got to take him up to camp with us
when we go. Anyway the crowd up there will have some peace in the
meantime, so _we're_ doing a good turn, that's what I said.

So this story is just about my own patrol and Pee-wee Harris, and some
buildings and a couple of valleys and a hill and some pie, and a forest
and some ice cream cones and a big tree and a back yard and a woman and
a ghost and a couple of girls and ten cents' worth of peanut brittle.
It's about a college, too. Maybe you think we're not very smart on
account of being kind of crazy, but anyway we went through college in
ten minutes. So you can see from that how bright we are. That's why we
call ourselves the Silver Foxes.

Now Charlie Seabury (he has seven merit badges) has a grandfather who
lives out near the Mississi
