"And—good-looking?" asked Amy, smiling.
"Let us hope so—if we are to return the money to him in person," suggested Mollie.
"Well, the best thing to do is to put that in some secure place, Betty," advised Grace. "Has your father a safe at home?"
"Yes."
"Then let him keep it, and we can put an advertisement in the Banner. 'Found—a sum of money. Owner can have same by proving property, and paying for this advertisement.' How is that?"
"Wouldn't you ask for a reward?" came from Mollie.
"The idea—of course not!"
"But he might give us one," suggested Amy, "without being asked."
Then talking excitedly about the find, and speculating on how it could have come in the road, the girls accompanied Betty to her house. Mrs. Nelson was duly astonished at the news, and agreed with the chums that the best plan was that suggested by Grace. Accordingly, when Mr. Nelson came home, the bill and the queer attached note, were put in his safe. Then an advertisement was telephoned to the paper.
"And now let's talk about our Camping and Tramping Club," proposed Betty, for her three chums had called that evening after supper.
