eight o'clock in the evening before
It did not take the two boys long to drive to the lower end of the lake . Here the team was put up at a livery stable , and the chums hired bathing suits and houses , and spread themselves for a fine dip in the lake . The water was just right , and they enjoyed every second of the half hour they allowed themselves . It was eight o'clock in the evening before they went to get their team again . The moon was just coming up over the rim of the lake and this promised them a splendid drive back to Lakeview . As Harry and our hero entered the turnout two figures stole up from the back of the barn . The pair were Si Peters and Wash Crosby .
