But, being girls, they managed the living end a little better than the boys did. The boys, it seemed, had laid in a stock of canned stuff, in the usual hit-and-miss way, but some other campers found the "cave" where the food had been hidden. It was out of the question either to take or get ice, so the next best thing considered was the digging of a big hole in a very damp place.
But in her heart she was glad to see Enid in the position of hostess. Her life had been full of tragedy. Stolen from her wealthy parents, she had not known a home or friends until the previous year when she had been rescued by the chums on Campers' Trail. The car in which the girls were travelling belonged to Enid's father, and the girl was glad to show her friends around the place.
Bangs, "Think they'll care if I go ahead and cook up a chowder? Guess I can do it all right. Oh, I've seen 'em made, a thousand times, up at the Fishing Club." "They'll be glad of it," said Little Tim. "Go ahead." Mr. Bangs, rummaging through the campers' stores, proceeded to construct his chowder; while Tim busied himself about the camp, after building a fire. Mr.
And if it came to the worst, one of the campers could easily be dispatched to the home town to buy more provisions, since they had plenty of money still in the treasury, thanks to those wonderful little pearls, taken from the waters of this same Big Sunflower River. As usual with him, Max began to cast around in order to find some clew to the identity of the thief.

Uncle Teddy was beating the tom-tom and he stood on a large, flat rock close to the edge of the bluff.
Suddenly he gets a vision of the whole race of men, campers out on a swinging ball, brothers in the common motherhood of earth. Born out of the same inexplicable soil bred to the same problems of star and wind and sun, what absurdity of civilization is it that has robbed men of this sense of kinship?

Of course, he just voiced what was in the minds of many others, for who ever heard of a campfire, a grand night, a happy crowd, and no stories? Such a situation was inconceivable.

The camper said, "Yes, I guess it is, but we're pretty punk campers, I suppose, any way you look at it." Mr. Ellsworth said, "Just wait a minute," and he went away.
"Of course not!" cried Frank. "Oh, but please don't get into a a fight!" begged Grace, and she meant it. "All right, little one; here is a chocolate for thou!" laughed Will, as he crowded one into her mouth. For a few days our friends saw nothing of Alice and the rival campers.
