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

Yes, and listen to our plan, replied Nat. f'W'e will fix up some kind of a scary note and one of us take Ioe's pony and sneak up to camp and pin it on the cabin door. Wfe will say you are a prisoner and demand so much money, etc. Do you get ine? Oh, we fellows are pretty smart alright.', By this time they were among the numerous tents which comprised the boys' camp. Mr. Bur- ton and Miss Brohman had come up and were laughing heartily at the girls predicament. f'Here's some red ink and some old wrapping paper, called Joe, and the boys with the girls in their midst followed him to the table which had been placed under the trees. They all offered suggestions and finally the missive was written and one of the younger boys had been dispatched on Joe's pony to pin it on the cabin door. VVhat will the girls think?,' said Mildred. XYhat if they should be able to scrape together ten dollars and leave it at the Bear's Head. Don't you worry about them leaving the money there, broke in Bill. VVe won't give them a chance. P14 Pk Pk Pk Ik wk PK V Pk It doesnlt look as if Betty and Mildred are back yet, said Janet when she and Margaret had come in sight of camp from their trip to Mirianfs. 'fXVhy look, there's something on the door of the cabin. Itls probably a note from the girls but what a horrible looking thing for them to write. - Indeed it was horrible, as the brown paper had given the red ink an unusual color and the boys had taken care that it was well decorated with spots of the ink. l'XVhy, look here Marg -and Janet read: 'To the Misses Bandon and Benshay: fMiss Burton and Miss Burmer are here in our keeping and unless you girls leave ten dollars in the hollow tree at the Bear's Head at five o'clock, your honored hostess and her guest, com- monly known as Mildred, who have been taken to a dense part of the woods, will be started in a direction, not the one in which your camp lies and then we will desert them. NO MANS CRONVD., janet, do you suppose it's true F asked Mar- garet. Hjust think, Betty and Mildred lost in these woods at night and no place to stop. Itys three o'clock and we must be at that tree at quar- ter to five at least. NVhere's Mrs. Burton and where's some money,', and the girls rushed off to find the desired. At five o'clock the two girls with but six dol- lars and a half in Janetys coat pocket, were sitting at the foot of a tree at Bear's Head, discussing whether the No Man's Crowd would be satis- fied with six and a half dollars, when they saw a canoe landing at the head of the inlet known as the Bear's Head. Those must be the members of the No Man's Crowd who are coming for their moneyf' whis- pered Janet as the persons advanced. 6'Aren't they awful looking people. H wish we didn't have to stay and explain about the money. The girls, shaking with fright, barely heard the gruff voice of one of them ask: XVhere is the money ? Janet, in a trembling voice, said they had only six and a half and was starting to explain when she was interrupted by a chuckle from one of the men. Then came a burst of laughter from an- other and then the boys pulled down the black cloths with which they had hidden their faces. Before the girls had in the least recovered from their surprise, five other canoes had ap- peared around the bend and soon the girls were surrounded by Mr. and Mrs. Burton, Miss Broh- nian, Betty and Mildred and the remainder of the crowd at XVill's camp. Come! Come! We must get back to the boys' camp in a hurry or James will be having a terrible time. VVe niustn't be late for that delicious din- ner he has prepared for us, Mr. Burton called. Yes, back to the camp we go, cried the boys in unison and in a few minutes the deep silence of the Bear's Head was distrubed only by the faint echo of the boys' merry college song, Now for some eats, letis go.
