without success.

"I wish we could get a chance at some other kind of game," remarked
Jack.

Presently they caught sight of Cedar Lodge at a distance, and then all
hurried their pace.

"Looks mighty good to a fellow after he's been away all night," declared
Spouter.

"Look, Look!" burst out Gif. "What can that mean? Every window and every
door of the Lodge is wide open!"

"Sure as you're born, Gif is right!" ejaculated Fred. "Something is
wrong, that's sure."

All set off on a run, to ascertain as quickly as possible what had
occurred at the Lodge during their absence. Gif was the first to enter
the place, but he was quickly followed by the others.

"Gee! what do you know about this?" ejaculated Andy.

"This is the work of our enemies!" murmured Jack.

The doors and windows had evidently been open for some time, for the
Lodge was bitter cold inside and not a little snow had drifted in
through the openings. The wind had likewise entered, blowing the ashes
of the dead fire in all directions.

"I'll bet Glutts and Werner did this!" cried Spouter.

"Just what I think," answered Jack.

CHAPTER XXII

AT TONY DUVAL'S CAMP

The six cadets lost no time in making a thorough examination of the
Lodge. In the bedrooms they found everything topsy-turvy, the bed
clothes having been hauled near the windows where the incoming snow
might fall upon them. In the kitchen they found many of their cooking
utensils in the sink, and over them had been poured a mixture of flour,
catsup, maple syrup, and condensed milk. In the storeroom many other
things were upset, and not a few of the supplies appeared to be missing.

"This is certainly the worst yet!" groaned Fred, as he looked at the
mussed-up and ruined food.

"I said Glutts and Werner would get back at you for meddling with their
supplies," remarked Jack sharply. "They have certainly paid us back with
interest."

"I wish we had those two fellows here now. I'd hammer them good and
proper," declared Randy. "Just the same, I suppose this is our fault,
and I'm mighty sorry for it," he added, looking at Jack, Gif, and
Spouter.

"They either took a large share of our supplies away, or else hid them,"
said Gif, after another look around. "My, what a mess they did make!"

"Well, as we are largely responsible for this, it's up to us to take
hold and clean up the best we can," announced Randy to his twin and
Fred.

"Right you are," answered Andy. "Come ahead! we'
