that you girls had flown," added Frank ruefully. "We were all set for

"We missed your letters, I guess," said Will. "We sailed very
suddenly, and there is probably a stack of them piled up there at the
old service station."
"We found out where you were all rightie, though," Roy continued. "So
we took the first train out this morning, debarked at the nearest
station south of here, and proceeded to walk the rest of the way. It
was thus that you came upon us."
"You came upon us, you mean," Amy corrected. "We ought to know well

panicky feeling turned her eyes away.
