See, he's asleep against a tree now." "Yes, his head would fall off if it were not nailed fast to him," added Ned, striding to the Shawnee and giving him a violent shake. "Wake up, you sleepy head!" shouted Ned in a voice that brought the Indian quickly to his feet. "Come over here, Eagle-eye. You're wanted," called Walter. "Put the Indian on the end of the rope; and, Professor, you please take a hold nearest to the tree. You'll be my salvation. The rest of you, except Chunky, can stand between the Professor and Eagle-eye." They took their places as directed, while Tad straightened out the rope until it extended to the edge of the cliff. "What do you want me to do? Have I got to stand here and look on?" demanded Stacy. "No, Chunky. You may run the signal tower," laughed Tad. |
