," said Helen, "so you can put it on her
when you do find her. Then she won't take cold."

"I'll wash the dress and have Dinah iron it for you," promised Flossie.
"I can't iron very well."

"Thank you," said Helen. "Oh, I'm so glad I came here, for I found part
of Mollie, anyhow."

Helen and her mother left Blueberry Island, promising to come again some
day, and Flossie and Freddie said they would, in the meanwhile, look as
well as they could for the lost doll.

[Illustration: THEY TOASTED THE SOFT CANDIES OVER THE BLAZE

_The Bobbsey Twins on Blueberry Island._ _Page 175_]

That night, in front of the tents, there was a marshmallow roast. The
Bobbsey children, with long sticks, toasted the soft candies over the
blaze, until the marshmallows puffed out like balloons and were colored
a pretty brown. Then they ate them.

Flossie and Freddie dropped about as many candies in the fire as they
toasted, but Bert and Nan at last showed the small twins how to do it,
and then Freddie toasted a marshmallow for his father and Flossie made
one nice and brown for her mother.

"I dropped mine in the dirt, after I cooked it," said Freddie to his
father, as he came running up with the hot candy, "but I guess you can

"I'll try," laughed Mr. Bobbsey, and he brushed off all the dirt he
could, but had to chew the rest, for Freddie stood right in front of his
father, to make sure the marshmallow was eaten.

"Is it good?" asked the little boy.

"Fine!" cried Mr. Bobbsey. "But I can't eat any more," he said quickly,
"because I might get indigestion."

"Then I'll eat 'em," said Freddie. "I'm not afraid of
id-idis-idisgestion."

It was jolly fun toasting candies at the campfire, but as everything
must come to an end some time, this did also, and the children went to
bed and the camp was quiet, except that now and then Whisker gave a
gentle "Baa-a-a-a!" from his resting place under a tree, and Snoop, the
black cat, purred in his sleep.

The next day it rained, so the twins could not go to look for the doll,
as they wanted to. They had to stay around the tents, though when the
shower slackened they were allowed to go out with their rubber coats and
boots on.

Toward night the sun came out, and they all went down to the dock to
meet the steamboat, for Mr. Bobbsey had gone over to the mainland after
dinner, to attend to some business at the lumber office, and was coming
back on the last boat.

It was after supper that
