XI.--THE NEW COOK SPRINGS HIS SURPRISE
"Hey, Bandy-legs, what d'ye suppose ails Toby there?"
"He sure looks like he'd just seen a ghost, for a fact, Steve. Where are Max and his cousin Owen just now?"
"Oh, they walked down along the river bank to look for signs of fresh-water clams. So we'll just have to run things ourselves, Bandy. Hello! there, Toby, what under the sun are you staring at?" and the boy called Steve jumped to his feet as he called out.
It was night in the woods, with a cheery camp fire blazing close to where the restless river fretted and scolded along its crooked course.
The boy called Toby, whose last name happened to be Jucklin, also scrambled to his feet when thus hailed by his campmate, Steve Dowdy.
Arthur Conan Doyle
