She moved back toward the station, followed by her charges, and a moment later the railroad agent had identified Janus to her entire satisfaction. The girls giggled. There was something funny about their having been deceived so easily, but Miss Elting did not regard matters in that light. "Can you tell me who the man with the goggles is"? she demanded, turning to the real guide after the identification had been made. "If I knew him there'd be trouble," threatened Janus. "What kind of a looking feller was he?" Harriet answered, giving a very excellent description of the man with the goggles. "Don't know him," said Janus, stroking his whiskers reflectively. "Lucky for him that I don't. What do you want to do now?" "Go to the post-office," cried the girls. "There must be mail for as there," added Hazel. "I'm so anxious to hear from home." |
