"Down feedin' his pets, most likely," answered his father as he went out. A moment or two later Billy came in. The boys seated themselves in their places and ate their breakfast in silence. "Set down there an' keep still as a mouse till I get back," he admonished. "I won't be long." "It is," said Caleb shortly, "and my eyes are gettin' sharper every day, Billy."
