"That is the end," said Kate.
"Oh! it is lovely," they all cried, "and we thank you so much."
"You see," she added, "now I am glad that I called this Camp Fire the 'Ohio.' That is our legend, and we can have a little copy made to annex to our book."
Then the Fire Maker came forward and extinguished the dying embers. Each girl arose and kissed the Guardian goodnight, and retired.
CHAPTER XXIV
ETHEL'S FIRST DAY IN CAMP
The girls slept soundly that night and in the morning were awakened by the singing of the birds.
"Oh! how lovely it seems to be here," thought Ethel, as she leaned on her elbow, "instead of being awakened by the toot of an automobile just to lie quietly and harken to the birds." She looked around.
The other cots were occupied by her Cousin Kate, Patty Sands, and Edna
Whitely. Kate opened her eyes and sat up.
"Have you been awake long?" she asked sleepily.
