Dr. Shelton had come over in the _Sunshine Boy_ and received from Mr. Jarley the box containing the silver images intact. It made Polly Jarley very happy to hear what the quick-tempered doctor said to her father; and it made Wyn Mallory blush to listen to what they _all_ said to her! "You can't get out of it, girlie!" laughed Frank Cameron. "What they say is quite true. If it hadn't been for you they never would have found the boat, and of course the images would have remained hidden. You're _it_, Wyn Mallory--no getting away from that!" CHAPTER XXX STRIKING CAMP It was a glorious September morning--and no other month of all the year can display such beauties of sky and landscape, such invigorating air, or all Nature in so delightful a mood. It was a still morning. The newly-kindled fire on Green Knoll sent a spiral of blue smoke mounting skyward. There was the delicious odor of pancakes and farm-made sausage hovering all about the camp of the Go-Ahead girls. Windmill Farm had supplied these first "goodies" of the autumn and the members of the club enjoyed them to the full. "But, thanks be! there will be no more dishes to wash for a while," declared Grace Hedges. "Nor beds to make," agreed her partner, Percy Havel. "Nor fires to kindle," sighed Bessie Lavine. "Well!" exclaimed Frank Cameron, "an outing in the woods isn't _all_ it's cracked up to be, I admit. One might just as well accept a situation as servant in a very untidy household. It would be about the same thing. But my! we've had some fun between times." "And such excitement!" declared Mina Everett. "Think of all that's happened to us since we paddled up from Denton two months and more ago." "And happened to the boys, too," said Frank, "I understand that Tubby Blaisdell has put on ten additional pounds of flesh since yesterday morning." "Now, Frank! how could he?" gasped Grace. "Nobody could be much fatter than Tubby already is," added Bess, laughing. "You never know till you try," chided Mina. "You have put on some flesh yourself, Miss Lavine." "Bah! they'll soon work it off of me when we're back in school," groaned Bessie. "That's the worst of a vacation--there's always work at the end of it." "Lazy!" cried Percy. "I believe I'll _love_ study when I'm back to the 'scholastic grind.'" "You can have my share," grumbled Bess. "But what about Tubby's additional avoirdupois, Frankie? He's as big as a haystack anyway." "'All flesh is grass,' the Scriptures say, So Tubby B.'s a load of hay!" chuckled Frank. "Is that it? And Tubby is all swelled up now--as big as a barrel." "That's an awful fib, Frank," declared Mina. "He couldn't be." "Well, Ferd says he _looks_ so. The boys found a bumble bees' nest and Tubby didn't have any paddle to hit them with. So they all went for poor Tubby and they stung him so that his face is twice as big as usual--so Ferd says."
