"Oh! quit that, Bluff!" urged Jerry. "Don't you know you'll make us want to quit Cabin Point and hike for our real homes. Just let's keep thinking of what a spread we're in for, once I get started hustling the supper along. Wow! in fancy I can see it now, with the coffee-pot boiling on the hob and—holy smoke! Frank, what does this mean now?"
"Tell us what's happened!" demanded Will, beginning to show signs of excitement, as Jerry came to a full stop.
"Why, there's our cabin; can't you see, fellows—and as sure as you live somebody's inside it, because the light is shining through the window where that wooden shutter can't be coaxed to close tight. Now I wonder what that funny business stands for."

THE MYSTERY SOLVED
"Yes, it's a light, that's what it is!" Bluff was heard to mutter.
"This is certainly a queer piece of business, as you say, Jerry," admitted Frank.
"Oh! I hope now it isn't a messenger from home with bad news! That would upset all our plans. And my mother wasn't feeling just up to the mark when I left home, either," cried Will.
