iven up the prospect of finding her. I
am going to seek farther."

"Let's go for a long ride, anyhow, and then we can plan what to do for
the rest of the summer," suggested Mollie, and the girls went off in the
car.

And what occurred further to the chums may be learned by reading the
next volume of this series, to be entitled "The Outdoor Girls in a
Winter Camp; Or, Glorious Days on Skates and Ice Boats."

"And so there is no haunted mansion after all," remarked Betty, as they
rode on.

"Are you sorry?" asked Grace. "I'm not."

"Well, a haunt is so--romantic," spoke Betty.

"But I suppose it is just as well."

Eventually the false guardian was sent to prison for a long term, on
several charges. Mr. Bailey was not the only farmer he had swindled, it
appeared. The fellow had unexpectedly come to the old mansion, and had
boldly decided to use it for his purposes, learning that the title was
in dispute. It just suited his needs, and the hair-tonic was not the
only nostrum he made there after Carrie ran away. But the tonic was
alone responsible for the queer sounds and manifestations. On leaving
the mansion to go about peddling his wares, the man would take his
apparatus with him in the wagon, so there were few signs of his
occupancy.

Mr. Blackford bade the girls farewell a few days after the explanations
had been made, saying he was going to look up a new clue regarding his
sister. Carrie Norton was made welcome at the home of Betty, though she
often stayed for weeks at a time with the other chums. She had income
enough to support her now that her fortune was restored to her.

The girls completed their tour, having many good times which the boys
and the twins shared, the latter never forgetting to ask,
semi-occasionally:

"Has oo dot any tandy?"

And now that the Outdoor Girls have a prospect of "living happily ever
after," we will take leave of them.

THE END.
