Nan Sherwood at Pine Camp

or The Old Lumberman's Secret


by Annie Roe Carr




Chapter I
THE YELLOW POSTER

"Oh, look there, Nan!" cried Bess Harley suddenly, as they turned
into High Street from the avenue on which Tillbury's high school
was situated.

"Look where?" queried Nan Sherwood promptly. "Up in the air,
down on the ground or all around?" and she carried out her
speech in action, finally spinning about on one foot in a manner
to shock the more staid Elizabeth.

"Oh, Nan!"

"Oh, Bess!" mocked her friend.

She was a rosy-cheeked, brown-eyed girl, with fly-away hair, a
blue tam-o'-shanter set jauntily upon it, and a strong, plump
body that she had great difficulty in keeping still enough in
school to satisfy her teachers.
