The slender sensitive fingers of the specialist lifted the lids of the unseeing eyes. Intently he examined them, then with a quick smile that transformed his grave face to almost boyish gladness, he spoke. He raised his face at sound of the boy's step. "Ho, Billy!" he called cheerfully. "Is it you?" "I durs'nt," whined Paul. "I've the Captain's orders to keep my mouth shut," and he hastened up the steps. "Fine," commended Billy. "A cold like that oughta be good fer half the hoarhound, anyway. Let's go in afore the thing wears off. You take the basket, I'll carry the kindlin' fer you.".
