Roy Blakeley's Bee-line Hike

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.
