"I'll go with you," offered Bert, as the boys came out of the water, and began to dress.
They were almost ready to start back home when Bert noticed a boy walking along the path that extended on one side of the river.
At first Bert did not pay much attention to the boy, after giving him one glance, but as the strange lad came nearer Bert looked at him more closely.
"I wonder where I've seen that boy before?" he said aloud.
"What boy?"
"Over there," replied Bert, pointing.
Harry gave one look, and exclaimed:
"Why, don't you remember? That's the boy who found Freddie when he was lost at the circus!"
"Oh, so it is!" exclaimed Bert. "But what is he doing here? Why isn't he with the show?"
"I don't know," answered Harry, who was trying to untangle a hard knot in his shoe lace. "Better ask him."
