“He seems to have quite some legal business,” observed Fenn. “Maybe some one has left him a lot of money.”

“Wish some one would leave me a bit,” observed Ned with a laugh.

Further consideration of Frank’s doings was interrupted for a moment as the chums met Lem Gordon.

“Hello Lem, where you going?” asked Ned.

“Got to go to the hardware store for some nails. Lot of jobs to do around the house and dad says I might as well keep busy during vacation. I planned to go fishing, too, but I guess I can do that this afternoon. Say, did you hear about Sandy?”

“No, what’s he done now.”

“Gone off camping in the woods, somewhere up along the river.”

“Any one with him?” asked Bart.

“No, all alone. Hired a tent that Sid Edwards used last year and went off by himself.”
