CHAPTER I—A NIGHT OF EXCITEMENT
“Oh, where can Crazy Jane be!” wailed Margery Brown.
“It isn’t so much a question of where Jane may be as where we ourselves are, Buster,” answered Harriet Burrell, laughingly. “However, if she doesn’t come, why, we will make the best of it. This will not be the first time we have spent the night out of doors.”
“Are we lost?” gasped Hazel Holland.
“It looks very much as though we had gone astray,” replied Miss Elting, who was acting as guardian and chaperon to the Meadow-Brook Girls.
