Besides Chatz Maxfield, whose real name, of course, was Charles, the busy bees in the tree who were assisting their chum pick the ripe apples on this late August day consisted of three fellows, all members of the Hickory Ridge[18] troop of Boy Scouts; and well known to every lad who has read the preceding volumes in this series.

...demanded Ty, perched high up in the immense tree, and lowering his basket when filled with an ingenious tackle he had contrived so that he need not climb down with a bulky load; though twice he had[22] managed to upset the whole picking, to the disgust of Landy who feared the apples would be too badly bruised to find a market, as his father intended.

...And Im anxious to have this thing put through, declared Jasper; because, you see, it was partly my suggestion; and besides, Ive got a hunch that the Fairfield troop are figuring on a long hike, to try out their best fellows.

...Oh, nearly everyone believes that, replied the fat boy, readily; though to tell the truth, there never has been a hike like this around here before, and we dont just know whos got the Injun sign on the rest of the bunch.

...The Hickory Ridge scout did not want to hurt the fellow any more than he could help; but at the same time he was bound to do all in his power to hold him; for he meant to take a look at every one of their faces, so that he could tell them again.
