AN EARLY MORNING SURPRISE Half an hour after Harriet had outlined her scheme to surprise their friends, the girls were in bed.

They were tired, as usual, and went promptly to sleep.
In the meantime the Tramp Club boys had been busy making camp.

They built up a campfire, and, before going to bed, cooked some fish that had been caught by one of their number that day.
"I don't believe the Meadow-Brook Girls are in these parts at all," declared Larry Goheen.
"It's a lark coming over here for a night's camping out, anyway," answered Billy Gordon, "It is like being real Indians." "We aren't Indians," answered George, "It is those girls who are the Indians.

I'd just like to see any other girls in the state of New Hampshire make the hike they did that last day we were on the trail.
They may be twenty miles from here by this time.

If we don't find them to-morrow I, for one, shall be in favor of making a trip around the lake in the launch.
