all grateful, and in which they stood in much need.

"Oh, how good that was!" sighed Alice. "Is there any more?"

"Well," hesitated Russ, "I was thinking perhaps we'd better save some
until morning. We will want breakfast, you know."

"Don't you think they'll find us--or we them--by breakfast time?" asked
Ruth, apprehensively.

"It's possible that it may not happen," Russ answered, slowly, and his
words seemed rather ominous to the two girls, at least.

"Oh, don't worry," advised Mrs. Maguire. "We'll be all right, I'm sure.
At the same time it might be a good plan not to eat all the food we
have."

"Oh, I agree to that!" said Alice, hastily.

"I'll shoot a wild turkey to-morrow," promised Paul, with a laugh. "Then
we will have a real Thanksgiving feast."

"I hope we don't have to stay as long as that," sighed Ruth. "Oh, how
father will worry!" she said to Alice.

"Probably, but it can't be helped. He will know we would come back if we
could, and he'll know we will take care of ourselves."
