"Him and me's chums," my small sister said of the red-squirrel that hung around the log-barn.

That was the English voice again, seemingly out of the heavy air, or out of the storm outside. Jimmie turned quickly and saw his chums nicely tied up. In a moment he turned back to the row of six, without even exchanging a look with his friends. "Who's doin' the talkin'," he asked.

"I don't know anything about the man," said Ruth, smiling. "But one of my chums has invited me to go to Cliff Island for the Christmas holidays. Her father has bought the place and is building a lodge there." "Good lands!" ejaculated Jerry. "Isn't that a coincidence?" Ruth commented.
