And thus he remained, So to speak, brained. His head having nothing beneath it sustained, Rolled to the floor, Out of the door, Away down the street and was seen nevermore.

Ttcenty ' O C.i'0'l rom Four to Six in Adirondacks HE UB Quartetf, consisting of Betty Bur- ton, janet Bandon, Mildred Burner and Margaret Benshay had been at the Burtonls summer home in the Adirondack Moun- tains, and were now in camp, a few miles farther up in the mountains at Big Lake,', where they were planning to spend most of their vacation with chaperone, Miss Brohman, who had been a teacher at Braermoute, a boarding school where the girls had just completed their junior year. About four o'clock onemorning in june, Betty awakened and, jumping up quickly, after a few minutes strenuous work had the other three girls on the floor of the cabin, and the woods rang with their shouts of laughter. f'Come on, girls, let's go out around the lake- we haven't been yet, and you said you wanted to go and see fOld Miriam,' the fortune teller,', said Betty, when the girls had dressed and were in front of the camp. janet, you and Margaret go around on the right side of the lake and Mil- dred and I will go on the left. The first couple to get back after three o'clock will be treated by the other side. Alright, and who will be here to see who gets back first PM asked all the girls at once. Mother will be here, replied Betty, and we will start at six o'clock. 'IBravo! Come on janet and let's get our 'duds' on and be ready to start before the other girls,', said Margaret, and the girls rushed off to the Gute Nacht Cabin hand in hand. 'fCome on Mildred, jane has breakfast ready and we mustn't let the other girls beat us, and they ran off to the Brot Cabin,'y or dining cabin. IVith cautious steps, about quarter of six, janet and Margaret came through the trees from Cute Nacht and were surprised to find Betty and Mildred sitting calmly at the foot of a tree, watching some birds on the lake. XVell, I guess you girls had better give in and say your beaten in getting here first, Mil- dred replied to their crys of surprise. VVe've been here hours, it seems like, waiting for you girls. Canit we start right away Metty ?', VVait till I tell 'Mutter' we're goingf, from Betty as she ran off through the trees to Mr. and Mrs. Burton's cabin, but was back in a minute calling: All aboard for the lake trip. Aye! Aye! responded the girls, and when Mrs. Burton's shrill whistle broke the morning stillness the two couples, with many good bye calls, went in opposite directions into the forest. After having walked for about an hour and a half, which had been spent in pleasant conversa- tion, Mildred remarked to Betty as they were resting by the lake: Doesn't it seem as if Nat and Bill ought to be here-but then I suppose they are having a better time in townf, In town, broke in Betty, why didn't you know they had gone camping somewhere near Malone. Didn't Nat tell you-but that's right, they didn't know they were going when we left. Bill wrote just last Monday and said the crowd were to start on a camping trip Tuesday. Come on, we must go on. They set out and, as they were descending a small rise, noticed in front of them a large camp. VVhy, whose camp can that be PM exclaimed Mildred as they stopped in surprise. I don't know and didn't know there were any camps between here and Roger's camp. I wonder -Betty paused as they heard footsteps behind her and turned to see who was coming. Then, Bill and Nat, as the two boys advanced. Hoho! Bet-we surprised you girls, didnit we, said Bill. 'iIVell, you girls are going to be our guests for today and be prisoners while we boys have some fun with the other girls. And he sent the club call which brought several other boys from the tents below. But Bill, Margaret and janet are on the other side of the lake and we are having a contest with them,', exclaimed Betty, as thee boy's pur- pose dawned on her, and we have to go on or we will have to treat them. 'fIVhat of it,', replied one of the boys who had come up. Your father and 'chap' are here and we are to go after your mother and Marg. and janet at six o'clock. Your father knew we
