I doubt the performances got up to exploit it, though somehow, when the hikers started from New York to Albany, and afterward from New York to Washington, the inspiring thought of Bertha von Hillern came back to me. I am sure the reader never heard of her. As it makes a pretty story let me tell it.
Ted Guthrie chose to take a ride in the big car of Temple Gaitley, the sponsor of Wellington who lived at its gates and shared her prosperity with any student worthy of the name. Ted would rather ride than walk, after her sliding tournament, and along with her there piled into the car as many foot-sore hikers as the big open car could possibly hold, stretching the word at that.
"Good grief!" said Mirabelle, faintly, and there was silence. Mr. Mix came to look over her shoulder.

Thus it was arranged that Ralph should accompany them on a hike through the backwoods that extended for many miles between his farm and Pioneer Lake, southward. Earlier than usual he rose next morning and attended thoroughly to the chores; then, after a hearty breakfast, the four hikers bade Mrs. Kenyon good-bye and set out for a place in the woods where Joe was to meet them.
Then he let it go, for Darrin was waiting, and in grand old Dave's eyes flashed the resolve to retrieve what had just been taken from the Navy. "Darry can't lose, anyway. He'll take the conceit out of these Army hikers," predicted some of the knowing ones among the Navy fans. "Ball one!"
Occasionally, one of the guests invited on a hike relucted from taking the plunge, and then he was allowed to go up stream or down and find a crossing at a bridge; but I suspect that his host and the habitual hikers instinctively felt a little less regard for him after that.
The hikers were demoralized and leaderless. The right word now "Fellows," said Don, "let us show Mr. Wall that he can leave the village as often as he pleases and not have to worry about a single scout of Chester troop." Ritter took a step toward him. But the others were still just a bit uncertain. Don almost held his breath. There was nothing more for him to say.
"Neither, sir!" answered Polly promptly. "We are dancing hikers!" "Wh-at?" the man gasped. But the laughing couple waltzed on. Blue had gallantly claimed Juanita Sterling for her second dance, and as they waltzed down to the street they saw the motorists whom they had left beside the road driving toward them. The car stopped, and Mr. Randolph and Miss Puddicombe stepped out.
He gripped the handle-bars hard and coasted. A few minutes later he had almost reached them. They heard the whir of his chain and looked back. Then they stopped. "It's only Don," Tim said carelessly. Ritter shrank back as though he wanted to hide. Up to this point Don had thought only of overtaking the hikers. Now he was face to face with the problem of what he should say to them.
Casey made sure of that, inspecting first the bedding and food and then the cooking utensils. Everything was complete lavishly so for two men who loved comfort. Even their sweaters were there; and Casey knew they must have discovered that the nights can be cool even though the days are hot, in that altitude. And there were two canteens of the size usually carried by hikers.
