Chapter III
A BREACH OF DISCIPLINE “What do you reckon these O. C. people will do, Larry, when they find that we’ve got ahead of them in the canyon?” “Huh?” came a yawning grunt from the opposite tent cot. Then: “Good goodness! can’t you let a fellow sleep for a few minutes?” “A few minutes? It’s ten o’clock, and I’ll bet we’re the only two people left in this camp――unless the other one is the mess cookee!”
