se and tell him, and meanwhile, the rest of us will come up there.
Anyway, I'd like to see that observation station. So now maybe you'll calm
down and tell me how to find the mountain road."

"Oh, do you _think_ you _can?"_ she asked.

"Sure, we can," I told her.

Just then somebody must have pulled her away; from the 'phone. Anyway, a
fellow's voice said, "Let me talk to him. What is he? Just a kid?" Then he
said, "Will you please run to Haverstraw and notify Judge Edwards, 22
Terrace Street, that his daughter and three friends are on the top of
Eagle's Nest, and to please have the authorities notified and a party
formed to come here. I will see that you're suitably rewarded."

I said, "I'd be ashamed to have the whole town of Haverstraw coming up
after met and scouts don't accept rewards. We'll send to Haverstraw and
tell Judge Edwards, and then we'll come up and get you. All you have to do
is to sit there and ten riddles till you see us. Which road do you take for
Eagle's Nest?"

Then he said how we should follow the west road from Haverstraw till we got
to a big white house with a windmill in front of it. Pretty soon after we
got past that, he said, we'd come to a cow path that led through the
fields. He said we should follow that till we got into the woods where we'd
see picnic grounds and then we'd find a trail that went up the mountain. He
said other trails branched off from it, so we'd have to be careful. He said
it didn't go right to the top, and I suppose that's why they couldn't find
it coming down.

He said, "Did you ever hit a mountain trail?"

"_Hit_ one?" I said. "We give one a knock-out blow every couple of days. So
long, we'll see you later. Tell that girl not to worry."

Gee whiz, I forgot all about Marjorie.

CHAPTER XXXVI

UP THE TRAIL

As soon as I told Westy about it, he said he'd go into Haverstraw so as to
save time, while I went back to camp and got the rest of the fellows. Oh
boy, didn't I hustle. I went running into camp shouting that there were two
fellows and two girls on the top of Eagle's Nest, and that we had to go and
rescue them.

"Are they human?" Harry asked in that funny way he had.

"Yes, they're human," I said.

"Five toes on their front feet and four on their hind feet?" he asked me.
"Had we better take some flypaper?"

"All right, you can laugh," I said.

He said, "I've followed you through many wild adventures, but I never
accompanied you in rescuing a ma
