was a piece of paper on which was drawn a sunfish.

So they went on for nearly half an hour, following the red
blazes, when suddenly they came upon Chapa and Gladys sitting in
the road. Gladys had a blister on her heel. Nyoda bandaged it
for her and showed her how to put a piece of adhesive on the
other heel to keep it from blistering. The rule of the road was
that if one pair caught up with another they were to sit down and
give them a ten minutes' start. So Nyoda and Medmangi sat down
and waited until Gladys and Chapa were well under way.

The next blaze they struck was truly startling. It was a little
silver birch tree with the stem painted entirely red. Nailed to
it with a big rusty nail was a piece of cardboard. At the top
was written:

"Sahwah and the Starlore Maiden
Keep ahead though heavy laden."

Then followed a many-pointed symbol and the words, "See our
combination symbol? It's a starfish!" Underneath was a couplet in
a different writing.

"Here come Migwan and Hinpoha
Two and two like the beasts of Noah."

Underneath that was a verse signed by "The Chipmunk."

"Gladys's heel is full of plaster,
Or else we would travel faster."
