Don't you worry
about our having plenty to eat.
When we got through shopping, we went to Warner's Drug Store for sodas.
Harry Donnelle said he'd treat us all, because maybe, those would be the
last sodas that we'd ever have. As we came along we saw Mr. Warner
standing in the doorway and he was smiling with a regular scout smile.
"There's something wrong," I said; "there's some reason for him smiling
like that."
"Have a smile for everyone you meet," Will Dawson began singing.
But, believe me, I know all the different kinds of smiles and there was
something funny about Mr. Warner's smile. When we got inside we saw a big
sign hanging on the soda fountain. It read:
A LAST FAREWELL
TO THE SILVER PLATED FOXES
BEFORE THEY ENTER THE JUNGLE
By that I knew that some of the fellows up at camp had been down to
Warner's the night before and put it there, because they knew that would
be the last store we'd go to.
Harry Donnelle said, "All right, line up." So we all sat in a row and some
summer people who were in there began to laugh.
