"Yes, I am Dora Stanhope," answered the girl.

"Dick Rover sent me over from the other side of the lake. He
told me if I saw you to take you over to Nelson Point."

Nelson Point was a grove situated directly opposite Cedarville.
It was a place much used by excursionists and picnic parties.

"Thank you," said Dora, never suspecting that anything was wrong.
"If you'll come in a little closer I will go with you."

The Falcon was brought in, and Dora leaped on board of the yacht.

She had scarcely done so when Mumps and Dan Baxter stepped from
the cabin.

"Oh, dear!" she gasped. "Where - where did you come from?"

"Didn't quite expect to see us here, did you?" grinned the former
bully of Putnam Hall.

"I did not," answered Dora coldly. "What -- where is Dick
Rover?"

"Over to Nelson Point."

"Did he send you over here for me?"

"Of course he did," said Mumps.
