"I don't exactly know. But there is a book which tells all about them.
Douglas told me that a scout must do a good turn every day." "What's that?" "It is to do a kind act of some kind. I know of one boy who looked after the baby so that his mother could go out for awhile. Another rescued a poor little kitten from some cruel boys who were teasing it. When I write my story with you in it, your good turn will be the rescuing a girl from the water just like you did yesterday. I hope to sell the story and make so much money that I shall be able to go to the specialist in New York." "What are you going to call the boy?" Rod asked. "I haven't decided yet. Maybe I shall call him Rod; wouldn't that be nice?" "How did you know that was my name?" "Mrs. Britt told me this morning before you came." "Did you ask her?" "Yes." Rod's heart gave a little flutter of pleasure. So this beautiful girl had been thinking of him, and had even asked about his name. It made him feel happy all over. |
