"Down," said Jack.

"What do you say, Don?" continued Rand. "Either way," replied
Donald. "Let them toss up for it."

Taking the coin he had picked up in the road from his pocket Rand
tossed it into the air. "What do you say, Jack?" he asked.

"Heads!" responded Jack.

"Tails it is," announced Rand as he picked it up. "Pepper wins.
Up, we go."

"What have you got there, Rand?" asked Jack, who had been eying
the coin Rand had tossed; "something new?"

"It's something that I found in the road this morning," replied
Rand, handing the coin over to Jack. "Pepper found one, too."

"Found it in the road!" cried Jack, instantly on the alert. "That's
serious. Tell me about it."

"There isn't much to tell," replied Rand. "Monkey Rae tried to run
us down this morning and we had a near-fight and after he had gone
we found them."

"Well?" questioned Jack.

"That's all," replied Rand.
