"Oh, we would just love to have you," replied Jack, with mock seriousness, "but the fact is, we are all invited out. We lunch on the Chelton to-day," and he strutted around with such wide sweeping curves, and twists, that he knocked from the narrow board table every last bit of butter the "Couldn'ts" had in their camp. "More careful next time," commanded Dray. "I'm off to call the meeting.
"The only way," replied Hal, a boy from the "Mist." "We couldn't even keep up in starvation, but with something to sustain us we might be able to keep the law. As a matter of fact, it was civic pride that compelled us to come in here and eat." There was no help for it now, the Couldn'ts had been robbed. Even their party paper napkins were being made into balls.
This served to keep the canoe from capsizing as Dainty and Kent crept into the Chelton. Just what saved all three boats from being turned upside down in the racket that followed only Neptune knows, for in their delight at seeing real food the boys from the "Likes" grew so impetuous that the "Couldn'ts" felt called upon to interfere.
After considerable urging, ordering and coaxing, the Couldn'ts rid themselves of their uninvited guests, and were once again in possession of their own tents. "Did the girls invite us?" asked Dray. "I hate to intrude." "They did not," replied Jack, "and we are not going to intrude. We are just going over to thank Mrs. Lewis for saving this camp from destruction. She hammered down those stakes.
"We demand our insurance!" "Seems to me the demand is rather violent," replied Ed, as the Couldn'ts saw what was going on. The entire tent was filled with boys from the wrecked camps, and they were making away with practically everything in the line of eatables they could lay their hands on. "Clear out!" ordered Dray, "or we will call the police. What sort of way is this to keep law and order?"
