“It was very kind of you boys to bring me up here,” said Grandmother. “Oh, if I could only see the water! Is it smooth and bright?” “Your bandits!” whispered Bob to Ted. The other boy nodded an assent. “Go on,” he urged the Indian. “Yes, Aunt Grenertsen.” “Gee whiz!” ejaculated Bob. “This is worse than anything I’ve tackled before—ever!”.
