Of course it did not matter at all to Thad And his chums whether the three men were ever apprehended, as they did not expect to cruise in this region again and consequently there was no chance of their ever meeting any of them afterwards.
"Toss over that monkey wrench; will you?" "Say, who had the saw last?" "I know I laid a hammer down here, but it's gone now!" "Look out there! Low bridge! Gangway! One side!" These, and many other cries and calls, came from the big barn-like shed, where Dick Hamilton's airship was being constructed. Dick himself, and his two chums, Innis Beeby and Paul Drew, had joined forces with Mr.
"But we didn't find Sallie and Celia there," complained Nan. "You didn't expect to, did you?" returned the boy. "But I know where that street is. We'll go around there after lunch if mother says we may, and look for that girl who knows them." "Oh, Bess!" "Oh, Nan!" The chums had caught sight of the same thing at the same moment.
Two stage loads of men, woman, boys and girls had already arrived from Preston. Trentville also had sent a delegation. "What's all that yelling with 'Gridley' in it?" cried Dick, jumping up and moving toward the door. He was followed by his chums. They reached the float in time to see the automobile bus from Gridley coming down to the water front. In it were some thirty people of all ages.
She was at the beginning of tears, and he sought to comfort her. "Don't worry, honey, she's got too much horse sense to do anything foolish. She's grown up. I suppose it's his being so different from the other boys that catches her. We've always been good chums let me talk with her. She mustn't make a mistake."
The selection of the spot had been Frank's, and, though his chums had wondered somewhat at it, they agreed with him that it was a good place. There was a little stream running through the forest, not far from where they pitched their tent, and their first attempt was rewarded by a catch of several fine fish.
"You'll feel better in the cool of the woods down there," said Ned gently, "and maybe we can kill a rabbit. Hurrah, come on, Alan! Brace up. It's all down hill, now. Here's for the woods and broiled rabbit!" In a new spurt of life another start was made and the two chums set out down the slope. In one of Ned's hands was a rock.
The door, which Dunk had neglected to chain after the admission of his friends, was suddenly burst open, and in came, with a rush, Mortimer Gaffington and several other sophomores. "Rough house!" was their rallying cry. "Rough house for the freshies!" "Rough house!" Andy and his chums were taken completely by surprise.
And yet, for the life of me, I can't feel gay and festive. But I'm going to MAKE myself feel so, if it takes all summer! We've two awfully nice boys to entertain us, and you and I are good congenial chums. Mrs. Perry is a dear and the baby is an awful comfort. Now why, Marie, WHY can't we act just as if there wasn't any Babette? I mean, of course, unless she gets very much worse."
Jally announced that it was supper time and that he must go home. "Gracious! And I told my aunt we'd be to supper by six o'clock!" exclaimed Shep. "We'll have to leg it to her house." "Come again to-morrow at nine o'clock," said the photographer, and this the chums promised to do. "Well, I've learned a whole lot to-day," said Snap as they walked along.
