Jimmie dropped the valise and followed it into the roadway. It took some time to explain to the young man. First, he had to be told about the scout law and the one good turn a day, and that it must involve some personal sacrifice. And, as Jimmie pointed out, changing from a slow suburban train to a racing-car could not be listed as a sacrifice. He had not earned the money, Jimmie argued; he had only avoided paying it to the railroad. If he did not walk he would be obtaining the gratitude of Sadie by a falsehood. Therefore, he must walk. "Not at all," protested the young man. "You've got it wrong. What good will it do your sister to have you sunstruck? I think you _are_ sunstruck. You're crazy with the heat. You get in here, and we'll talk it over as we go along." Hastily Jimmie backed away. "I'd rather walk," he said. The young man shifted his legs irritably. "Then how'll this suit you?" he called. "We'll declare that first 'one good turn' a failure and start afresh. Do _me_ a good turn." Jimmie halted in his tracks and looked back suspiciously. "I'm going to Hunter's Island Inn," called the young man, "and I've lost my way. You get in here and guide me. That'll be doing me a good turn." On either side of the road, blotting out the landscape, giant hands picked out in electric-light bulbs pointed the way to Hunter's Island Inn. Jimmie grinned and nodded toward them. "Much obliged," he called, "I got ter walk." Turning his back upon temptation, he wabbled forward into the flickering heat waves. * * * * *
