He has scarcely uttered the words when another snowball was thrown at the aged female. This hit her on the cheek and caused her to utter a cry of pain. She tried to save herself from falling, but could not, and went down in a heap. "For shame!" ejaculated Shep and ran to help the old woman to arise. In the meantime Snap, with flashing eyes, hurried across the street and confronted Carl Dudder.

"Yes, to-day," answered Giant, proudly. "Then somebody must have helped you," said am Spink, enviously. "Maybe Jed Sanborn is around." "No; we brought this game down alone." "Where did you get the mink?" "Up that little brook you see yonder." "I didn't know there was any mink around here," came from Carl Dudder. "Guess I'll look for some myself." "Well, I wish you luck," said Snap, pleasantly.

"Going to camp out here, eh?" went on the dudish youth. "Oh, no; we've opened an oyster house," returned Whopper, who was bound to have his fun. "Humph! Frank Dawson, you needn't get funny!" "Was I funny? I didn't see you laugh." "You know what I mean." "Expect to do some big hunting, I suppose?" said Carl Dudder with a bit of a sneer in his tones.

"We are going home," declared Ike Akley, and his manner showed that he was frightened almost out of his wits. "Let us have the boat and the canoe and we won't bother you any more," said Carl Dudder. "You can have the whole lake to yourselves." "Did we see what?" asked Giant, of the youth who had first spoken. "The ghost," was the unexpected reply.

"What about?" "We think he played us a mean trick," put in Whopper, as Snap paused. "Oh, I thought that affair was a thing of the past," said Mr. Spink, loftily. "My son was not to blame so much as that tramp. The tramp told a string of falsehoods " "We don't mean that, Mr. Spink," spoke up Giant. "We mean a trick Ham and his friend, Carl Dudder, played on us this afternoon." "Humph!

"Then we can start back for camp at sunrise, and so get ahead of the Spink crowd." "Oh, they won't go back until they find their boat," said Giant. "I don't know about that," said the doctor's son. "They may get mad and lay it to us and start back to-night. You can never tell what Ham Spink and Carl Dudder will do. Dick Bush isn't quite so bad."

If he does the job we won't have to dirty our hands, and if he gets into trouble we can deny that we had anything to do with it." This view of the matter suited Barney Hedge and also Carl Dudder, and all joined in getting Kiddy Leech to tell them what our friends were doing and how they were situated.

They spent an hour over the meal, and in the meantime discussed their future plans and the burnt cabin. "Do you know I have an idea that the same person who burnt down our cabin wrecked the old boathouse," said Snap. "I was figuring it that way, too," answered Whopper. "The question is, Who would be so mean!" "Perhaps it was Carl Dudder," answered Giant. "Or Ham Spink," came from Shep.

"Hurry up, we want to see the rest of the fun," cried Giant, and set off on a dog-trot in the direction of the Dudder mansion. When the four boys reached that vicinity they found quite a crowd collected. More people were coming from the public square. The piazza of the Dudder homestead was illuminated with Chinese lanterns, and there sat Mr. and Mrs.

"Why, it seems Ham and Carl and some other fellows -the same crowd that has been against us for so long -have chipped in and ordered some fireworks from the city. They are going to set the fireworks off in front of the Dudder house on Fourth of July night. The Spink family and some others are to be there. Ham and Carl are boasting what a fine celebration it is to be."
