"Shall we be in that?" asked Kate.
Harry considered this question before answering it. "I think the President ought to be in it," he said, "but I don't know about the Secretary and Treasurer. I think they are not generally Directors."
"Well," said Kate, with a little sigh, "I don't mind."
"You can be, if you want to," said Harry. "Wait until we get the Board organized, and I'll talk to the other fellows about it."
"Are they going to be all boys?" asked Kate, quickly.
"I reckon so," said Harry. "We don't want any men in our Board. They'd be ordering us about and doing everything themselves."
"I didn't mean that. Will there be any girls?"
"No," said Harry, a little contemptuously, it is to be feared. "There isn't a girl in the village who knows anything about telegraph lines, except you."
"Well, if it's to be all boys, I don't believe I would care to belong to the Board," said Kate. "But who are we going to have?"
This selection of the members of the Board of Directors seemed a little difficult at first, but as there were so few boys to choose from it was settled in quite a short time.
