for a week's drive in my car. You've been
through so much here at the lake that my peculiar style of driving will
hold no terrors for you. What do you say? Will you go?"

"If I thought you could be depended upon, for once, to drive safely--"
began Miss Elting somewhat dubiously. "What is your pleasure, girls?"

"We want to go with Jane," was the chorus.

"Hurrah!" cried Jane. "It's settled. I'll promise to bring you back home
all safe and sound."

The day was spent in shopping at the village store, as their belongings
had all been aboard the ill-fated "Red Rover." The Meadow-Brook Girls
decided to get along as best they could with their limited supply of
clothing, and depended on buying their meals at the various hotels and
farmhouses along the way. After a happy week on the road, during which
time Jane McCarthy proved herself to be a safe and careful driver, they
turned their faces toward their own town.

Once home, Miss Elting lost no time in sending in a report, to the Chief
Guardian of the Camp Girls' Association, of the "honors" won by the
Meadow-Brook Girls. In due time the girls received their honor beads,
which added considerably to the length of the strings of beads they had
already won for achievement and bravery.

The Meadow-Brook Girls were destined, however, to win many more of the
coveted beads, and shortly after their return home, Jane McCarthy held a
lengthy consultation with her father; then invited them and Miss Elting
to be her guests on a trip to the White Mountains. What befell them
during their outing in the New Hampshire hills will be fully set forth
in the next volume of this series entitled, "THE MEADOW-BROOK GIRLS IN
THE HILLS; Or, The Missing Pilot of the White Mountains."
