At FIRST Miss Grayman did not know
what to reply. the thing was so unex-

how the two Mitchell girls and their
brother were always engaged In some
practical joke on their friends with a
pleasant ending.
They must have written TO her
father, letting him into the secret, and,
knowing hts dislike to having her long

the trees and ~isapDeared.
Miss Grayman was now filed with
agreeable anticipation. In a few hours
she was sure that she should see her
father.
Miss Grayman felt that she could
paddle theScanoe well enough. and ac-
cordingly after they had enjoyed for
an hour the scene from the veranda
she and Susan embarked. Mrs. VIII
liams ran down to the landing, offer
ing to take the paddle or to send fer
Indian Johny but Miss Grayman De

were out of view Of the lodge Miss

they disembarked In a delightful lit

and admired during their former trips.
Here they sat down on the sweet
scented moss and chatted.
"Td like to know where P~ettytown

"Oh, I'm not much afraid of bears.
