The girls took charge of Cora now, and although the boys remonstrated, she was borne away to her room to rest and bathe and change her clothes.
“And now,” said Jack, drawing a long breath, “it’s up to us to get busy and call off the searching parties. I suppose I ought to have done it the moment Cora landed, but for the life of me I couldn’t tear myself away.”
“You’re excusable,” laughed Walter. “But you stay right at home, old man, with your sister. Paul and I will get on the job and attend to everything.”
Jack protested, but they would take no denial. They jumped into the car and whizzed down to the sawmill.
They found the foreman and Baxter deep in consultation. The latter saw at once from the boys’ faces that they had good news, and hurried to meet them.
“We’ve got her!” cried Walter.
“Safe and sound at Kill Kare,” added Paul.
“You don’t say!” exclaimed the foreman with a broad smile.
“Bully!” cried Baxter in great relief.
“Where did you find her?” asked the foreman.
