midnight
The instant a hand touched her cot Harriet Burrell was awake and sitting up . But to her amazement she was thrown on her back , a towel was twisted about her head by a pair of dexterous hands and her arms were pinioned at her sides . At first she did not know what to make of this sudden attack , then a warning whisper in a girlish voice brought understanding with it . Harriet had been struggling with good prospect of getting free , but she ceased her efforts at once upon coming to the conclusion that some of the Camp Girls were playing a midnight trick on her . Harriet even assisted them by obediently rising from her cot . A pair of rubber-soled tennis shoes were quickly slipped on her feet . Her clothing , with the exception of her camp uniform , was handed her and she dressed as best she could under the circumstances .
