"I'll fix him
all right," he said; "he's a coward, that's what he is, and he,
needn't think I'm afraid of him. I'll get even with him all right.

"Only we didn't make a success of our refreshment parlor," Pepsy
ventured to say, "but just the same we're going to because--"
"What do I care about it?" Pee-Wee vociferated. "I know a way to
get two hundred and fifty dollars and that's more money than we'd
ever make in this old place. And I'll have you for my partner just
the same. I'm going to get two hundred and fifty dollars all at once."
"Can I see it when you get it?" Pepsy asked.
"You can have half of it because we're partners," Pee-Wee said,
recovering something of his former spirits as this new prospect
opened before him.
"Can't we have the refreshment parlor any more?" Pepsy asked
wistfully. "Because, honest and true, we're going to make lots
and lots of money in it; I know a way--"
"Listen, Pepsy," Pee-Wee said. "Do you know what the Morse Code
is? It's the language they use when they telegraph. Scouts have to
know all about that. Do you remember when I said hide Kelly's barn
last night? That's what that first feller said to the other one who
was stuck.
