“There isn’t anything to tell,” replied Jack. “We had been off fishing, and when we came back we found our pantry pretty well cleaned out. Lucky we didn’t have an awful lot. We had to stock up again to-morrow, anyhow.”
“Let’s go over and take a look, girls,” proposed Marie. “We won’t need to get much for supper. There are some cold beans and——”
“What about us?” came from Jack. “Don’t you s’pose we want to eat?”
“Well, you can come to supper with us,” suggested Mrs. Bonnell. “After that we’ll all go over to the Point in the motor-boat—that is if it runs—and we’ll stock up.”
“Good!” cried Blake. “And we’ll have a dance after it.”
“Then come on!” proposed Alice. “We’ll look for clues, and decide who it is took their things.”
“Ha! Ha! That’s a good one!” jeered Jack. “Look for clues! Why you couldn’t even find your way home from Bear Pond!”
“But we did to-day,” said his sister quietly.
“You did? Were you over there again?”
“We were,” replied Marie.
