Del Mar stepped aside and glanced at the little slip of paper. Then he crumpled it up and threw it aside, walking away.
No sooner had he gone than Aunt Josephine reached out and picked up the paper. She straightened it and looked at it. There was nothing on the paper but a crude drawing of a sunrise on the ocean.
"What's that?" asked Aunt Josephine, in surprise.
Just then Elaine and Lieutenant Woodward came in and stopped before the tent. Aunt Josephine motioned to Elaine to come in and Elaine followed. Lieutenant Woodward started after her.
"No, no, young man," laughed Ancient Anna, shaking her forefinger at him, "I don't want you. It's the pretty young lady I want."
Woodward stood outside, though he did not know quite what it was all about. While he was standing there, Professor Arnold came up. He had not exactly made a hit with the guests. At least, he seemed to make little effort to do so. He and Woodward walked away, talking earnestly.
In the tent Aunt Josephine handed Elaine the piece of paper she had picked up.
"What does it mean?" asked Elaine, studying the curious drawing in surprise.
"I'm sure I don't know," confessed Aunt Josephine.
"Nor I."
