White Sarah Pepperdine decided to take a trip to the Holy Land and leave her nephew, Peter, in charge of Uiorndyke (Muggsy) lfcurglethorpe to study the course in Latin which he had pre- viously felled. Soon after the departure of his aunt, Peter began to form a plan by which he and his best paj. gJH, g9tlld n»ke some IM fo li Peter's plan was rental of nxs auntTs home to her worst enemy, Mrs. Clarkston. As his aunt has let all of the servants go for the summer Peter’s plans for Muggsy, Bill, and himself to act in disguise as servants for the Clarkstons fitted the picture perfectly. This would enable the boys to spy on Peggy and Nadine Clark- ston, with whom they were in love. Peter's plans worked perfectly until he received a tele- gram from his aunt telling him she had changed her plans and was coming home. This unexpected action presented a problem. He must get the Clarkstons out of the house before his aunt arrived. After Peter’s failure to scare them out of the house,he enacted a scheme which got him out of his complicated jam and restored his aunt’s faith in Bill, Nadine, and Peggy. Peter promised never to tell another lie and his aunt consented to his marriage to Nadine.
