Quick action and alertness protect against unexpected nighttime emergencies
Returning from a weekly troop meeting late at night, Paul Morrison and his fellow scouts notice an open door and darkness at Mr. Clausin's feed store. Investigating cautiously with improvised wooden clubs and matches, they discover the storekeeper unconscious on the floor inside his office. Cold water revives Mr. Clausin, who realizes that someone raided his open safe and stole a mysterious tin box during his sudden fainting spell.
