_

For a club of girls to become involved in a mystery leading back into
the times of the California gold-rush, seems unnatural until the reader

4. THE LINGER-NOTS AND THE WHISPERING CHARM

_or The Secret from Old Alaska_

Whether engrossed in thrilling adventures in the Far North or occupied
with quiet home duties, the Linger-Not girls could work unitedly to
solve a colorful mystery in a way that interpreted American freedom to a
sad young stranger, and brought happiness to her and to themselves.
