Mrs. Ford, worn out with war work, had gone with
the girls to chaperon them.
Bad tidings at first threatened to overwhelm the chums. The Fords
received word that Will was seriously wounded "somewhere in France,"
and later Mollie received a telegram from her mother saying that the
twins, Dodo and Paul, had disappeared. Still later, while everything
was at its blackest, Betty read Allen Washburn's name among the
missing. However, everything cleared up later when the twins, who had
been kidnapped, were recovered and their kidnapper sent to justice.
Still later Allen proved that the report that he had been missing was
an error by writing to Betty himself and in the letter he also spoke
of Will Ford and the fact that he was getting over his wound
splendidly. Of course there had been great rejoicing and the vacation
had proved a happy one after all.
And now, at the time of this story, the war was over and the first
regiments of soldiers had arrived from the other side and the girls
were expecting a joyful reunion with the boys at any time.
