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


"Well, I guess we are ready to start," announced Grace. "I have the
chocolates. Who has the olives?"
"Chocolates and olives-- the school girl's delight!" mocked Will,
"Oh, you'll be asking for some," declared his sister.
"Chocolates and olives are good for the boys,
And to the girls they also bring joys."
Thus remarked Mr. Lagg. The crowd of young people were in his store,
stocking up the Gem for a resumption of her cruise on Rainbow Lake. It
was several days after the finding of the missing saddle and the
papers. The latter had been sent to Mr. Ford, Prince had been swum
across to the mainland and sent home, and the news about little Dodo
had been confirmed. The child would fully recover, and not even be
lame.
"Oh, what a fine time we've had!" exclaimed Grace, as she waltzed
about the store with Amy.
"Well, the summer isn't over yet by any means," spoke Mollie. "And
there is the glorious Fall to come. I wonder what we shall do then?"
And what they did do may be ascertained by reading the next volume of
this series, to be called "The Outdoor Girls in a Motor Car; Or, The
Haunted Mansion of Shadow Valley," in which we will meet all our old
friends again, and some new ones.
