Jonquils and crocuses appeared to welcome the fat robins that returned to their nests, and all Nature hummed and fluttered in its eager preparations. Janet and Phyllis were busy planning a farewell party, as they sat in the sunshine in the park one Sunday morning. "If we could only think of something different to do," Phyllis wailed.

Nevil had watched them both with a speculative eye, for the moment an historian of the future rather than of the past.

"My!" exclaimed Charley, as he saw Nan's camera, "that's a fine one!" "I just got it to-day," said Nan, with a pleased smile. "I'm going to take a lot of pictures up at Snow Lodge."
