he could prop him; and he was wildly waving Kitty's blue cap.

CHAPTER XXII

A COMEDY OF THE ROCKS

"OH, I am so excited, Cleo. Everything is happening at once. The girls
have been down to Captain Dave's and he was delighted with his pipe and
things, and Neal seized the loving cup. Says it belongs to his club, the
one Dick Gordon was in. And--" she paused for breath, Cleo jumped in the
opening.

"Grazia, dear, don't choke. I am all of a flutter myself. Louise has had
her father look over Kitty's papers, and it is almost too commonplace to
tell, but it is just perfectly lovely, all the same. The name
'Schulkill' is on the deed to the property over at Luna Land, and the
name Morehouse, that's the Aunt Hannah and Uncle Pete name, is only told
of in Kitty's mother's letters. It will be very easy to establish
Kitty's claim, Mr. Hart thinks, and Louise is so full of the news she

courageous scout.

How the True Treds congregated, ready for the sail over the bay in the
valiant Treddie need not be told, for the very next noticeable thing was
they were all together, and ready for a start, piling into the launch,
like an encore to their previous excursion. Everybody chatted, and
chinned, and giggled, and asked questions; and the sky blue flag Grace
carried folded in her blouse caused no end of comment.

"Louise has had a double share of glory," said Helen, adding more to the
share in her own tone of admiration. "She made a rescue, and found
Kitty's deed to Luna Land."

"But the curtain is not rung down yet," Cleo reminded her. "No telling
what may happen this very afternoon."

The boat clipped the waves so merrily the Point loomed in view almost
before the girls realized they had entered the cove.

"There's Bentley!" called Grace. "See, he is just standing on the dock,
and he has a suitcase. Turn
