"Gosh," cried Elgin Scraff, "there goes the bell! Come on everybody; let's get our medicine." "My friend has forgotten to mention that he is state's attorney and a noted bugbear to all evil-doers," smiled the doctor. "In other words he's known as Trail Down Maddoc and—if he will permit of my so stating—is far more famous in his own particular line than am I in mine." "Mr Greyquill!" cried Captain Acton. "But Dad don't need it," Jim declared. "He's rich now.".
