"Katherine, if you've borrowed it to stir that villainous paint mixture you were daubing Eeny-Meeny with I'll " "What's that sticking out of the hole in the floor?" interrupted Katherine, pointing to the corner behind the bed. "Why, that's it," said Gladys. "I remember now, I poked it into that hole last night." "Whatever did you put it into that hole for?" asked Hinpoha curiously.
They hadn't told Antha about the danger threatening Eeny-Meeny nor the plan for her defense. Katherine reflected. "It was kind of mean to leave her out of that. I wouldn't like it myself if I were the younger one of a group and they kept having secrets from me. I'm not being a real nice big sister at all." "Never mind, Antha," she said, patting her hand. "I'll tell you about it.
Katherine had double work, for in addition to her own canoe with its cargo, she had Eeny-Meeny to transport. But the Captain gallantly helped her and Eeny-Meeny made her overland journey with perfect ease. "This is a case of 'turn about is fair play," said Gladys. "First your canoe carries you and then you carry the canoe."
If you agree to tow her yourself I certainly have no objections to her going along. But remember, towing her will include carrying her overland when we come to the shallow places." "Now lie still and be good," admonished Katherine, when Eeny-Meeny had been laid in the canoe, looking ridiculously undignified with her one arm and foot sticking up in the air.
"It's for Eeny-Meeny to stand on," explained the Captain proudly, "and we put up the pole so the Stars and Stripes could float over her and the people going by in boats could see her." He set the pedestal down and turned toward the tree where Eeny-Meeny had stood. "Why, where's Eeny-Meeny?" he asked in amazement. "Where is she?" echoed Slim. The girls sat dumb.
"Who is hiding Eeny-Meeny?" she asked. "Why," gasped Hinpoha, "you are!" "I?" said Katherine. "Yes, you!" said Hinpoha. "I had forgotten all about the panic," said Katherine, "and the noise scared everything out of my head." "Quick, before it's too late!" said Hinpoha. "Run down and do it now while everybody's still up here.
"He ran into Eeny-Meeny," explained Katherine, "and it scared the wits out of him." There was another rush of feet and Uncle Teddy and the Sandwiches came on a dead run. They had heard the yell and were coming to see what was the matter.
Katherine would have been game to go on paddling all day rather than say Eeny-Meeny was a bother to tow, but she was very glad of the order given by Uncle Teddy, which gave her a chance to sit in the bottom of the canoe and do nothing but look at the scenery and keep an eye on Eeny-Meeny, lest she should give them the slip again.
We came prepared to rescue Eeny-Meeny from a fiery death witness the water buckets concealed behind every bush on the hillside and we find some perfectly gorgeous council seats that you have been toiling to make in secret while we suspected you of plotting base deeds. Instead of seeking to destroy Eeny-Meeny you plan to honor her.
"And you mean to say," demanded Katherine, "that those boys never intended to burn up Eeny-Meeny?" "Perish the thought," said Sahwah, enjoying herself in the extreme. "They're as innocent as day old lambs." "Then so is Anthony," said Hinpoha. "That's right," said the Captain. Then, turning to Anthony, he made a frank apology for accusing him of hiding Eeny-Meeny.
