On this occasion, however, they approached it closely, and looking off through the trees of the land Mr. Jallow claimed, Mollie espied smoke coming from a log cabin.
"Why, someone's living over there!" she exclaimed. "I never noticed that before."
"Neither did I," agreed Betty. "I'm sure no one was in it when we passed here two days ago!"
As they paused to look several persons came from the cabin, which had evidently been built for camping purposes.
"Look!" exclaimed Grace in a low voice.
"It's Alice Jallow!" exclaimed Mollie.
"And Kittie Rossmore!" added Betty.
"Who are the two fellows with them?" Grace wanted to know.
"One is Jake Rossmore—Kittie's brother," spoke Will, "and the other is——"
"Sam Batty!" interrupted Frank. "Two cronies if ever there were any. I wonder what this means?"
