She joined them in a moment, and Will began. "Well, you see," he said, "in the first place, Mr. Mendall didn't want to raise our hopes until he found out definitely whether anything there belonged to us." "Yes," broke in Mollie quickly. "Don't interrupt," Will warned her. "You might sidetrack me or something." "Oh, Will, don't be a goose!" cried his sister. "Go on."
"I'm not a goose," he declared with dignity, "and I expect to go on if I am given half a chance." He paused for a reply, but as none was forthcoming and as only threatening looks met him on every side, he continued hurriedly. "Well, as I was saying," he went on, "Mr. Mendall did finally succeed in getting the information he wanted. Then yesterday afternoon I happened to meet him "
Mendall says," Allen volunteered, "there are traces of a good many other things from Deepdale. We'll probably have a triumphant home coming. And they have captured the gypsies and put them in jail." "Oh, oh, and to think we did it!" sighed Amy, contentedly. So joyful were they at the outcome of their detective work, that the long journey to Deepdale was almost forgotten. It was Mrs.
It was early in the morning of the day on which the Outdoor Girls and the boys had decided to start for home. For days they had expected word from Mr. Mendall. The boys had haunted the town hoping to hear from him but no word had come. Then suddenly Will had burst in upon the others with the great news that he had almost run into Mr.
Mendall, for such was the sheriff's name, warned the young people that it was not yet time to give up hope there were plenty more bags where these had come from. "But we haven't time to go through all of them now," he stated. "I simply wanted to assure myself that the things were valuable.
We'll let you know exactly what's in them as soon as we know ourselves," he promised. "Nothing could be fairer than that," said Allen cheerfully. "I guess since we've waited so long, we can afford to wait a little longer." "It won't be much longer," Mr. Mendall responded. "We want you all to know how grateful we are for this assistance.
"Don't you know that it would take at least three hours for the boys to go over, find out what Mr. Mendall has to say to them and get back here? Remember they have to wait for the ferry," she added significantly. "Well, I know, but if it is going to take that long, we won't get home to-day," Mollie grumbled. "Besides, I've got to hear the news."
They had not liked the idea of being alone on this end of the island when the gypsies returned to find the cave empty. Mr. Mendall rose to his feet, gripping a bag in each hand, but together they were all that he could carry. "Here, Trent, you take one of these," he ordered. "I'll take the other and, armed with proof like this, we ought to be able to convince even those skeptical people on shore."
"I don't see how you managed to get it through the woods," said Allen, referring to the hand-cart. "Oh, we stuck to the shore most of the time," said Mr. Mendall, cheerily, "and the rest of the way there are pretty broad paths. Now for the clearing up," and he led his half dozen followers after him into the cave.
Mendall turning a corner, and that genial man had expressed great pleasure at sight of him. "Why, he said " Will had reported excitedly, "he said that if he hadn't met me, he fully intended coming over to camp that he had something to tell me that might be of great interest. And he wants us fellows to come over first thing in the morning," he had finished exultantly.
