CHAPTER XXII.
SHOWS YOU WHERE I DO THE TALKING Westy said we shouldn't say anything to Mr.Ellsworth, but wait until Skinny had taken the oath and knew all the laws and all about scouting, and then maybe say something to him, how we thought maybe he had made a mistake sometime and would like to fix it right.

Westy said we'd call it just getting off the trail.

Westy's a mighty nice fellow, you bet, and he's a good scout.

But anyway, it knocked all the fun out of that meeting for us, and I don't know what the other fellows thought.
Skinny was there in his new suit and he showed how proud he was to have it.

He was always smiling in that bashful kind of a way, as if he was kind of scared but happy at the same time.
