DanGets Nots
From Members
Kit nCarsonClub

(Seeond Day of the .StucSx-ap.D
Dear Dan-The members of
the Kit Carson Club cordially
invite you to go with them on
their hike to Roaring Rapids
next Saturday-tomorrow, that is.
Bring along your grub and be
prepared to make a day of it.
Il will be over to your house
at 4 this afternoon and will give
you more details as to time we
will start. etc. Yours truly. Tom
Butterworth, Kit Carson Club"
When Dan Goodman opened the
Goodman mail box Friday morn
ing and found this note therein.
he was surprised. He read IL
once. Then again.
Dan Becomes suspieieus.
Kit Carson Club? why-that
was the club he had heard Ned
Fox and Bill Benson talk so
much about.
Once again Dan read the note.
He thought moment. Then his
suspicious were aroused.
Dan was very Misunderstanding
for a young man his age. He
wore huge. tortoise-shell-rim
glasses. They made him look
owlish. He was thin-cheeked,
quite long and none too heshy.
But he had a good. honest face
one that showed him to be in
telligent and fond of lots of fun
and excitement. though bit
sensitive.
But. having been so very stu
dious ever since he was a small
boy, he had been made the butt
of many a joke. Other small
boys didn't seem to take to a
studious person. And it was
these jokes that made Dan shy
at making new acquaintances.
Thus, when he read the note
