Their activities had been joyous ones; their fun and sport healthful; and nothing had really occurred to trouble their minds. Of course, Laura was an exception to the others. Jess and Bobby were to a degree disturbed over the mystery of the young man who had visited the camp on two occasions, and about their unexpected discovery of Professor Dimp's presence on Acorn Island.
"Once Tooley made a bolt in a straight line through Dimp's quarter, and hit Dimp in the mouth, and bowled him over like a nine-pin. Dimp was scared to death, and howled like murder till he found he'd scooped the pot; then he got quiet.
Nor did Laura wish to discuss the affair with Jess or Bobby Hargrew. She was afraid to tell anybody what she surmised about Professor Dimp's companion. It was after breakfast which Liz served with all the spirit and cheerfulness, so Bobby said, of an Egyptian mummy with the mumps! that they first spied the big barge coming from the north shore of the lake.
"Why!" gasped Jess, "it couldn't be Professor Dimp." "You mean he couldn't have been the kleptomaniantic thief?" chuckled Bobby. Laura began to laugh softly herself. "Nor could he have been the person we and the Barnacle have been trailing," she said, suddenly. "Why not?" demanded Jess and Bobby together. "Did you ever notice Professor Dimp's feet?" asked Mother Wit. "Horrors! No.
Then, when I say ready, I'll pull the string and raise the basket and let Tooley out. Tooley'll get scared and run. If he runs off the circle through my quarter, then the four cents are mine; but if he runs through Dimp's quarter, then the four cents are Dimp's. "It was real excitin' when I pulled the string, and the basket went up. You'd ought to 've been there, Mrs. Maxwell.
