side street directly behind the railroad station. Leaving their handbaggage at the station in a pile with numerous other bags, and their guns with the station-master, they made their way to this resort. Ordinarily at this time of night the restaurant was doing very little business, but on account of the accident many people had dropped in, so the tables presented a lively appearance. "We'll have some difficulty in finding seats, I guess," remarked Jack, looking around. "There are a couple of small tables over in the alcove," came from Spouter. "We might shove them together, and I guess they'll hold us all." This was done, and after a wait of several minutes a girl came to take their orders. "What have you got ready?" questioned Gif. "There is no use of our waiting to have anything cooked to order," he continued to his chums. The girl named over a variety of things, including hot pork and beans, roast beef with potatoes and turnips, and also several kinds of sandwiches and pies, and also tea and coffee.

I think I know the answer to that question," returned Jack quickly. He looked at his cousin Fred. "Don't you remember what Bill and Gabe said in the moving picture theater about going up to some camp to hunt? I wager that camp is located somewhere in this vicinity." "That must be it!" answered Fred. "However did they get poor Codfish to come along with them?" queried Andy. "They'll plague the life out of that little sneak." "They'll make a regular servant of him, that's what they'll do!" answered his twin. "If they came up here to hunt, I hope they are not going to settle down anywhere near Cedar Lodge," remarked Gif. "I'd hate to have those fellows saddled on me while I was trying to have
