Bob looked up to see a young fellow of about his own age coming towards them. He was rather tall and dark and dressed in khaki, and wore canvas leggins. It was the costume of a regular civil engineer, thought the boy from the East. The Indian stalked swiftly away and Bob turned towards his boarding house and sleep.
