In addition to this Deepdale is situated in the heart of New York state and is only a hundred-and-fifty-mile run from the city of that name. Thus one can easily see that Deepdale is a very desirable place in which to live. At least that is what the four Outdoor Girls thought. And since they had spent most of their lives there, they certainly ought to know!
True, the railway was only a branch one, but it connected with the main road running to New York, and this was enough for the people of Deepdale. The town also boasted of a paper, the Weekly Banner, and there was a good high and grammar school in town, besides numerous stores, and other establishments, including a moving picture theatre this last rather an innovation.
"Why is he here in the house is some one else ill?" asked Grace, quickly. "Yes, my dear. Poor little Dodo was knocked down by the horse, and we fear is badly hurt." "Dodo?" and the voice of Grace fairly rang at the name. "Yes, little Dora Billette. This is her aunt's house. She and her brother Paul are visiting here." "Yes, yes! I know. They live near me in Deepdale.
"If this is a joke, please drop it," he began. "I am almost crazy as it is. I don't know what I am doing. "It isn't a joke!" declared Betty. "It may sound strange, but it's all true. We did find your bill, under the railroad bridge in Deepdale. It's in my father's safe now." "That's great it's fine. I'd given it up long ago. I advertised, and put up a notice in the post-office, and "
I want you and Grace and Mollie to know. Maybe maybe you can help me," she finished with a bright smile. "You see it was this way. Of course I don't remember anything about it. All my recollections are centered in Deepdale, and about Mr. and Mrs. Stonington. It is the only home I have ever really known, though I have a dim recollection of having, as a child, been in some other place.
To briefly mention the mystery of Amy, I might say that she was picked up when an infant, afloat on a raft in a flood in a western city. Pinned to her baby dress was an envelope containing the name of Mr. Stonington of Deepdale. He had been telegraphed for, and took charge of the infant. It was supposed that the mother of the baby was a distant relative of Mrs.
"We can freshen up," went on the girl who loved candy, "and enter into town in style. I hope mamma put in my new gown and another pair of shoes." "Grace Ford! You don't mean that you'd put on a new dress to finish up this walking excursion in, do you?" asked Mollie. "Certainly I shall. We don't know who we might meet as we get into Deepdale." "We will hardly get in before dusk," said Betty.
They had returned to Deepdale, their home town on the Argono River, just as spring was budding forth. And now, this glorious day, the four girls had met once again, and were ready for something new, which something seemed to be offered by Betty Nelson. "You see it's this way, girls," went on the Little Captain, as she explained matters.
Grace Ford, tall, slender and willowy, was almost the same age as Betty, but that fact and her love of the outdoors were the only things she had in common with the "Little Captain." Her father, James Ford, was a lawyer, and her mother, Mrs. Margaret Ford, a rather dressy lady who spent a good deal of her time at clubs, was quite a figure in the society of Deepdale.
"This last week has been great, too even though we were so anxious to hear about Mollie's silver." "Oh, and do you know what Anita said the other day?" Amy broke in suddenly. "She said she had some distant relatives in Deepdale, and that if she could fish around and get an invitation, she might see us there." "Oh, wouldn't that be great!" said Mollie, with genuine enthusiasm.
