Excerpt: ...the air, and finally Bob's guests started home in an hilarious mood. Bob himself cleaned up his bench a bit after the others had gone, and then went upstairs to his bedroom, which had a window in the rear of the house. He had just started to undress when he thought he heard a peculiar noise outside. At once the thought of what Joe had said about his encounter with Buck Looker and his companions leaped into his mind, and he crossed swiftly to the window and looked out.

Noiselessly he unfastened the kitchen door and passed out into the night, approaching the barn with as little noise as an Indian. Buck Looker was entirely unconscious of his approach, and was still fussing with the aerial when Bob's voice reached him, pleasant enough, but with a steely note in it that almost made the bully lose his hold on the roof. "Hello, Buck!" said Bob. "What are you doing up there?" For a few moments the shock of hearing Bob's voice so unexpectedly unnerved Buck completely, and he could do nothing but peer down at Bob with an expression of guilt and dismay on his coarse face. "Why-why-" he gasped at last, making an effort to pull himself together. "Why, you see, Bob, I-I just thought I'd...
