"Well, here's a blanket. Can you make up a comfortable bed?" "Oh, yes, I've got a broad board on a slant, and plenty of room." Bart lifted over the lunch basket. "There you are!" he said briskly--"now enjoy yourself, and don't take a single care about anything. Have you made out that list of things you want?" "Yes, here it is," and Baker handed over a piece of paper inclosing the ten-dollar bill. "I'll attend to this promptly," said Bart. "Supposing I look it over right here? There may be some things you have noted down I want to ask you about." "Maybe you'd better," assented Baker. Bart sat down near the lantern. The bit of paper was covered with crude handwriting, the same as that which had announced to him that afternoon that the contents of the safe in the old express shed ruins were safe. The list was not a very long one, but it was not easy to fill. Baker gave the measurements of a very cheap cotton suit and the size of a cap with a very deep peak. He also notated a green eye-shade, a pair of goggles, and the ingredients for making a dark brown face stain. |
