this time Jack and Dale were coming up, and the situation was quickly explained. The young major shook hands with the girls and turned the horse around for them. The Ford girls were glad to meet the cadets but sorry that they had interrupted the race so disastrously.
“Oh, it was a tie anyway,” said Andy. “I don’t care, if Pep doesn’t.”
“It wasn’t much of a race anyway,” answered Pepper. “How have you been since we saw you last?” he added.
“Very well,” answered Laura. “How are matters at the school? We heard somebody had taken the clapper of the Union Church.”
“So we heard, too,” said Dale dryly. “But that’s a thing of the past now. We are getting ready to go into camp again – this time in the regular fashion, under Captain Putnam and the teachers, you know.”
“How delightful!” murmured Flossie. “And where are you going?”
“Up to Lake Caboy, near the river and the falls.”
“Well, of all things!”
“What makes you so surprised?” asked Dale.
“Why, we are going up to Lake Caboy ourselves – up to the new summer hotel there. Papa and mamma thought it would be a change for us.”
“Then we may see something of each other,” said Jack. “That will be fine.”
“We’ll come down to your camp – if you’ll allow visitors,” said Flossie.
“I guess Captain Putnam will have to allow them. Every time we go into camp the country folks come to see us. They like to see the tents and the uniforms, and like to see us drill.”
