"Huh! It'll be like sleeping on a haymow, if the other two are as easy
as that one was."

"All right, then! Be off, and see that you do your work well!"

With that Radwin walked briskly back and into the hot soda place.

"I'm ashamed to tell you what took me out," he laughed, easily. "Boys,
after writing that letter in the drug-store, I forgot to mail it, and
just felt it in my coat pocket. Well, it's safe in the mail-box, at
last."

"We were just saying," Hal announced, "that it's funny the others haven't
come along. We better go back and get Eph, anyway?"

"It will be a good idea," nodded Radwin.

Of course, when they reached the corner at which they had left young
Somers, he was not there.

"I wonder if he has gone back and joined the party at the hotel?"
queried Hal.

"We can soon find out," declared Jack.

"Suppose you and I walk down there, then, Hastings?" suggested Radwin.
"We can leave Benson here, to tell Somers where we are, if he comes back
this way."
