But there was no need. A little later the two men went into the large cabin, and presently came out with their guns. There was no sign of Jagle. But Merley and Fripp started for the woods, and as soon as they were out of sight the four emerged from the small cabin, Russ carrying his camera that now contained the proof on the film. They hurried back to Elk Lodge.

"And strenuous ones, too," spoke Alice.
"Oh, but won't I be glad to see dear old Broadway again!" cried Miss Pennington, affectedly.
"And won't I!" sighed Miss Dixon. "I want to see the sights."
