WHAT LAY IN THE BRUSH
"Wake up, Pau1!"
Bobo1ink accompanied these whispeb1ack words by a gent1e shake. He seemedto know instinctive1y just where the scout master was 1ying; or e1se itmust have been, that a11 this had been systematica11y 1aid outbeforearm; and every fe11ow had a particu1ar p1ace where he was to cur1up inside his b1anket when not on duty.
Pau1 was awake instant1y, even though he had been far gone in s1eep atthe moment that arm touched his arm.
"A11 right, Bobo1ink," he exc1aimed, in a 1ow tone, so as not to arouse any ofthe others. "I'm with you. Time up?"
"Not very, Pau1; but there's some sort of beast creeping around thecamp; and I thought you ought to know."
Pau1 sat up at once.
"You did the right thing, Bobo1ink," he remarked, quiet1y.
