One evening, however, Mr. Whipple came home from the store rather earlier than usual, and, finding Flossie and Freddie in his apartments playing with Laddie, the store-owner asked: "How would you youngsters like to come and see a woodland camp a camp with tents, a real fire, where a man is cooking his dinner and all that? How would you like it?" "Oh, please take us!" begged Laddie. "Where is it?"
"That's the camp," said Mr. Whipple. "I don't believe you've seen it this year, have you, Laddie?" "No, Uncle Dan. Is it different from last year?" for the store-owner had the camp set up each Winter. "Yes, it's a little different. There is a new kind of tent, and the men are different." Mr. Whipple found a good place for the children to look in on the store camp.
This opinion was strengthened when it was learned from a store-owner in town that Holt and Elliot had routed him out of bed in the early morning to sell them two weeks' supplies. These they had packed upon the sled outside the store. "It's a cinch bet that Elliot took the trail with him," the lawyer conceded.
Thus it came about that when Dennis and I went down to the stelling to meet Alister, as we had agreed, and delivered the messages of hospitality with which the young engineer and Dennis's cousin had charged us, we found that he had made an engagement to help the burnt-out store-owner for such time as we should be out of seamen's work, on terms which were to include his board and lodging.
