"It's some machinery for him. It's an express piece. Where shall I deliver it?"
"That's his cabin over there," and Grace pointed to where it could just be seen. "Are there any charges on it?"
"Yep. Three dollars."
"I'll pay them. Oh, girls, I wonder what it can be?"
"Will's secret, probably," answered Betty. "I wish he would come;" and she looked anxiously over the trail.
"Don't you wish Allen would come, too?" asked Mollie, slily.
"Hush!" exclaimed Betty, with a glance at Alice and Kittie.
"Well, I'm going back, anyhow!" decided Grace, as she paid the expressman. "I'll tell Will there is a big box for him, and that will be a good excuse for him coming back. They must not fight. Papa would not like it."
"Well, perhaps that is a good plan," agreed Betty. "I'll keep on with Amy, and you and Mollie can go back to the boys."
"I'll go tell papa, and have him stop Jake and Sam," said Alice, moving off with her chum.
