ight my way, I want to do worth-while
things. Right now, if I were a boy, I'd try to climb Sombrero Butte."

"Would you really do a silly thing like that, Bet Baxter?" asked Joy
seriously. "I mean it. Tell me just why you'd do it?"

"I don't know why, but I'd do it because it would seem like a big thing
to do. It would be hard work and when I accomplished it, I could
always say, 'I climbed Sombrero Butte'."

"That's not much of an ambition. I should call that simply foolhardy!"
Joy could never understand such a desire. It was too far away from her
own temperament.

"Then," continued Bet, "I'd travel. I'd discover things, I'd find a
new continent or a river or something. I'd like to go to South Africa
and dig for diamonds. That would be romantic."

Joy laughed. "Now I can half-way understand that. Diamonds are worth
while. If you were a man, whom would you bestow those diamonds on?"

"You--most likely. Men who do big things always fall hard for a
handful of fluff like you," returned Bet, her eyes flashing dangerously.

"And there you'd show your good sense," Joy smiled in a provoking way.
"I almost wish you were a man, Bet."

As everybody laughed Bet soon regained her poise. Such flare-ups were
frequent with Bet, a sudden flash of fire and then calm. The girls
understood her and did not resent her bursts of impatience.

Tommy Sharpe leaned over and picked up a small stone from the ground,
exclaiming: "Look here, girls, while you're talking of discovering
things, I find a treasure."

"What is it?" cried Bet grasping Tommy's closed hand. "Let me see?"

"An arrowhead!" Kit burst out contemptuously. "Not much of a discovery
in that. I'm sick and tired of arrowheads."

"Why, I think it's wonderful to find one!" Bet examined the little
sharpened piece of flint. "I wish I could find one."

"I'll let you have this one," Tommy offered.

"No, that wouldn't be the same. To make it a real treasure I must find
one myself," answered Bet as she looked longingly at the stone.

The girls began to search the ground for arrow-heads, but Shirley was
the only successful one and even her find was a doubtful treasure as it
had a large nick in it.

"You don't need to worry, girls, you have all summer to find
arrowheads, if that's what you want," laughed Kit.

"I have a cigar box full of them at home," said Tommy. "I'd like to
give you some. But now we'd better be going. It will be dinner time
before w
