Hope, Laura Lee

"Or, the stirring cruise of the motor boat Gem"

"
"Well, it's only been in process of arrangement for about a week,"
explained Mr. Stone. "It will be the first of its kind to be held on
the lake, and we want it to be a success. Nearly all of the campers
and summer cottagers, who have motor boats, have agreed to enter the
parade, and also in the races. We'd like to enter you in both. We have
different classes, handicapped according to speed, and your craft
looks as though it could go some."
"It can," Betty admitted, while Grace was intently studying the faces
of the two young men. The more she looked at them, the more convinced
she was that they were the ones who had been in the auto.
"We saw you arrive," said Mr. Kennedy, who, Mollie said afterward, had
a pleasant voice, "and we hurried over to get you down on the list the
first thing."
"Don't disappoint us-- say you'll enter!" urged Mr. Stone. "You don't
know us, of course, but I have taken the liberty of introducing
myself, If you are acquainted with any of the cottagers on the lake
shore, or on Triangle Island, you can ask them about us."
"Oh, we are very glad you invited us," replied Betty, quickly.
