"I will get you a new and larger tent," answered the doctor, "and a few other things I think you ought to have." Can you go to Rallings to-morrow?"
"Rallings?" asked several.
"Yes. I will pay your way. I want you to go to visit Mr. Jally, the photographer. He is the one to give you a few lessons in photography."
The boys could all go, and it was decided to visit Railings early in the morning. The physician said he would give his son a letter of instructions for the photographer.
"It would be a good thing if you could stay overnight," said Dr.
Reed. "Then you could have two days instructions instead of one.
You could stay at my sister's house."
"That would be jolly!" cried Shep. He loved his aunt and knew she would make him and his chums welcome.
"I guess I can stay—-anyway, I'll find out," answered Snap; and
Giant and Whopper said the same.
Little did any of the boys dream of what strange happenings that visit to Railings was to bring forth.
