"You talk," said Amy, her eyes widening, "as though there were wild
animals or something in the woods. I didn't know they came as far east as

"They don't, goose," said Mollie grumpily, as she pulled at the tire. "I
didn't say anything about wild animals, did I? Only we have to ride about
two miles through the woods before we get to the lodge and I must say I
didn't want to do that in the dark."

"But there is some sort of road, isn't there?" asked Grace.

Mollie, bending over the lifting jack, shot her a withering glance.

"Of course there's a road," she said shortly. "How else could we expect to
use the cars?"

"It must be a sort of wagon road," suggested Betty as she deftly helped
her chum. "And I don't blame you for not wanting to try it at night,
Mollie. I don't much like the idea myself."

"I believe if we hurry that we can get there before dusk," said Mrs.
Irving confidently, though it might have been noticed that she kept her
eyes rather anxiously on the fast sinking sun.

At last, after what seemed an eternity to the impatient girls, the new
tire had replaced the old one, the old one was safely strapped on the back
of the car, the tools were put away, and they were ready to start once
more.
