“Is there anything unusual about it?”
“I’ll let you be the judge,” Penny answered. “We’re almost there now.”
They came in a moment to a path which made walking much easier. Penny went in advance of her chum. Suddenly she halted.
“See what is ahead, Lou! I never saw that thing before.”
She stepped to one side so that Louise might see the tall stone tower which loomed up against a background of scarlet maples.
“How curious!” murmured Louise.
“This isn’t the only queer thing I’ve found on the estate.”
“What purpose could the tower have?” speculated Louise.
“Decoration, perhaps,” replied Penny, moving forward again. “Or it might have been built for a prison.”
“Listen, you have too many different theories about Grant Atherwald,” laughed Louise. “Why don’t you get one and stick to it?”
