“What about our planes?” asked Dick.
Joe didn’t answer. But there was no need. For a little later the three boys heard their names called from beyond a fence. Lucy and Margie bobbed into sight, each one with a plane in her hands.
“Oh, so that’s what happened?” asked Dick.
“Yes, we found your planes,” Margie said.
“And did you get chased by a deer?” asked Lucy.
“No, the deer didn’t chase us. We chased the deer,” said Teddy. This was not strictly true, for there was a time when the deer seemed very much to be chasing the boys. But at least the chums had seen Mr. Mason make the deer run away.
“Whose deer is it?” asked Lucy.
“That’s what our club is going to find out,” said Teddy.
“Your club?” chorused the two girls.
“The Mystery Club,” explained Joe.
