“Now I see it!” she exclaimed. “Why, it looks like a moving light!”
“I thought so too,” Judy agreed. “You don’t suppose anyone could be down there?”
“At this late hour?”
“It doesn’t seem likely, does it?”
“Maybe Calico Cave has a ghost,” Ardeth declared with a nervous giggle. “Wouldn’t that be something!”
Judy had peered into the cave again. “The light is moving away, descending the passageway,” she reported. “Ardeth, Pete may have started down there to investigate.”
“If he did, he’s welcome to the job! Just to look down into that ink well gives me the jitters. Poor Pete! We’ll never see him again, I’ll bet.”
“Someone will have to get him out,” Judy insisted. “It would be too heartless to let him die in there. Miss Ward will know what to do.”
Though she would not have admitted it, the moving light which seemed to have no explanation, had somewhat unnerved her. With dusk coming on, she was eager to be away from the lonely locality.
“Okay,” Judy agreed reluctantly.
