"Just the same," whispered Fred, "I'm going to keep my eyes and ears wide open while they are here."
CHAPTER XVII
NEW YEAR'S DAY IN CAMP
When Randy and Andy retired it was a long while before the merry twins could get to sleep again.
"We ought to play some good joke on them," was the way Andy expressed it. "Something they would remember."
"I'd do it in a minute, Andy, if it wasn't that they are so worn out," responded his twin. "But I don't think Jack and Fred would like it at all if we disturbed 'em. And, besides, you must remember that while we are here we're Gif's guests."
Gif and Jack were the first to get up in the morning, and they had the fire revived and breakfast underway before any of the others showed themselves.
"Where are Glutts and Werner?" questioned Spouter, when he appeared.
"They haven't showed themselves yet, Spouter," answered Jack. "Might as well let them sleep as long as they want to. They can't leave here in such a storm as this."
