Bob was surprised when he saw the man roll a cigarette and coolly light it. This display of unconcern as to whether or not he was observed, did not fit in with the dodging tactics he had employed when coming up the hill. Then the explanation came in a flash. Surely the spot had been chosen on account of the clear space around it and the impossibility of anyone’s coming upon it unobserved.

The wind whistled in his ears and he was choked by the rapid ascent, yet the sensation was not entirely unpleasant. It was like riding in the fastest elevator he’d ever been in—at triple the speed. Bob paid no attention to this outburst, letting it go past his ears. Wesley’s voice from behind took up the refrain. “Because—because his name has been written in the police records today, and the policeman took him there, and so it was horrid that this report should say he was a credit”— Suddenly Nils, with a slyer look than usual on his sly face, went down into the cabin. A minute after he came stamping up again..
