o that here, I suppose?"

"No; the people who hunt around here go in for bigger game. They would
think they were wasting their time if they bothered to shoot chipmunks
and squirrels."

"I've seen them tame before, but that was in the park, at home, and it
isn't the same thing at all," said Dolly.

"No; though they're very cute, and I'm glad there are so many of them
there. But here, of course, they're in their real home, and it's
different, and much nicer, I think."

Then, after luncheon, Miss Eleanor divided the girls into watches.

"I think we'll have more fun if a certain number stay home every
afternoon to prepare dinner and cook it," she said. "Then the rest of
you can go for walks, or do anything you like, so long as you are back
in time for dinner. In that way, some of you will be free every
afternoon, and those who have to work won't mind, because they will know
that the next day they will be free, and so on."

Zara was one of those who drew a piece of paper marked "work" from the
big hat in which Miss Eleanor put a slip of paper for every girl, while
Bessie and Dolly each drew a slip marked "play."

"To-morrow the girls who work to-day will play," said Miss Eleanor, "and
those who play to-day will draw again. Four of them will play again
to-morrow, and the other four will work, and then, on the third day,
those who play tomorrow will work, and on the fourth day to-day's four
will work again. That will give everyone two days off and one day to
work while we're in camp. And I think that's fair."

So did everyone else, and Dolly, always willing to put off work as long
as she could, was delighted.

"Let's take a long walk this afternoon, Bessie," she said. "The air up
here makes me feel more like walking than I ever do when I'm at home.
There I usually take a car whenever I can, though I've been trying to
walk more lately, so as to get an honor bead."

"I'll be glad to take a walk, Dolly," said Bessie, laughing. "I think
you ought to be encouraged any time you really want to do something
that's good for you."

"Oh, if I stay with you long enough I'll be too good to keep on living,"
said Dolly. "Don't you see the difference between us, Bessie? You're
good because you like to do the things you ought to do. And when anyone
tells me something's good for me, I always get so that I don't want to
do it. We'll start right after lunch, shall we?"

"All right," said Bessie.

But before it was time to make a s
