“Then they’ll probably not be surprised to find out who we are!” exclaimed Daisy.
“Girls!” interrupted Alice. “There’s something more than coincidence to this. Those young men are stalking us! I’m sure of it now.”
“Alice, I thought we convinced you that there was nothing to that theory,” protested Florence. “Won’t you please forget it?”
“I’ll try to,” murmured the girl, meekly. “Still, I am crazy to meet them.”
She did not have to wait long, for a few minutes later the young men arrived. They did not appear in the least surprised at seeing the girls again, and greeted Daisy and Florence as old friends.
“Companions of the road!” cried McDaniel, shaking hands heartily.
“Here’s hoping we can keep this up!” added Cryton. “It’s mighty pleasant—”
“We didn’t know you belonged to Tom’s fraternity till Mae told us,” said Daisy.
“Well, it’s a very large organization,” replied McDaniel; “in fact, the second largest in the United States.”
“Maybe you know my cousins,” ventured Alice; “you seem to know so many people.”
