Excerpt: ...taken to seeing double," jeered William; "the coffee must have gone to his head. We'll have to remember next time, and make him a cup of grandmother tea." Paul had something to think over. In connection with the strange robbery of the feed-man's place, and the queer actions of Mr. Clausin then Pg 156 and since, it was little wonder that the young scout leader connected this new event with the other.

He may be used to playing all day, but that means a change of action. It is the steady grind, hour after hour, that tells on his lower extremities, until they get hardened to the test.
