The next moment, to the surprise of Ted and Janet, their little brother fell down and vanished from sight.

OFF TO MOUNT MAJOR
“Did you see that, Ted? Did you see where Trouble went?” cried Janet.
“Yes, I saw him fall, but I don’t know where he went,” Ted answered. “I guess he’s down in a hole.”
“Oh, maybe there’s water in it and he’ll drown!” went on Janet.
“There isn’t any water here now,” said Ted.
And it was a good thing the gully had gone dry, for Trouble had fallen into a hole that was filled with deep water when the stream was rushing through the gully. But, as Ted remarked, it was now dry.
For a moment after his tumble Trouble uttered no sound. And then he yelled:
“Come an’ get me! Come an’ get me out, Ted!”
