They rounded a turn, and then the girls
exclaimed:
"Rainbow Lake!"
In all its beauty this wide sheet of water lay before them. It was
dotted with many pleasure craft, for vacation life was pulsing and
throbbing in its summer heydey now. As the Gem came out on the broad
expanse a natty little motor boat, long and slender, evidently built
for speed, came racing straight toward the craft of the girls.
"Gracious, I hope we haven't violated any rules," murmured Betty, as
she slowed down, for she caught a motion that indicated that the two
young men in the boat wished to speak to her.
As they came nearer Grace uttered an exclamation.
"What is it?" asked Mollie.
"Those young men-- in the boat. I'm sure they're the same two who were
in the auto that made Prince run away! Oh, what shall I do?"
CHAPTER XIII
CRACKERS AND OLIVES
Betty grasped the situation, and acted quickly, as she always did in
an emergency.
"Are you sure, Grace?" she asked. She could speak without fear of the
men in the racing boat overhearing her, for they had thrown out their
clutch, a moment later letting it slip into reverse, and the churning
propeller, and the throb of the motor, made it impossible for them to
hear what was said aboard the Gem.
