But Ihey •en't. They keep by themselves." The trouble was that ever since MrSi Chriton had realised that her little girl was growing into an extremely pretty woman she had suffered from the complex that her daughter would he the natural prey of all members of the other sex. And there had been certain circumstance! that almost justified her fears. Were they not, at this present moment, taking a trip to cure Julie «>f an absurd infatuation for the "boy Jnext door"--that frequent bete noir of fond mothers? Of course, Julie's father absolute* ly scouted the idea that any car had deliberately pursued them from Springfield through the White mountains, up the Maine coast, and across the border. And now he pointed out the probability of their having turned off on the road that led to Fredericton. "They've just been taking a trunk route like the rest of us," he explained, hammering a tent stake into the ground. "Haven't seen them all day, have we? Well--" "Daddy!" Julie grabbed her father's arm. "There it is now--the blue limousine!" In a cloud of dust from the gravel road arrived the huge car of ancient vintage for all its recent coat of azure paint. Hardly had it stopped, before the long-legged youth whose appearance had grown so familiar stepped out, cast his glance toward a square of level gtound farthest from the Carlton car, and indicated the spot to his father in the driver's m $$ ^Veu, said Mr, Carlton, very firmly, "these tourist camps are free to all and as I've done nothing to put any one<on my trail, they're welcome to track me to Hudson Bay--if I go that far. And, for anything I've seen to the contrary, that young man doesn't even know our Julie exists!" The next few days, however, could |>ut show if there was actual intention behind all this. If the blue limousine party timed their departure with that of the Carltons, who were remaining over for several days to take in side trips \o Nova Scotia, and Pfince Edward island, there would be little doubt that they, the Carltons, were the object of an inexplicable pursuit. On the second night, the blue limousine was still there, but the Carltons, spending two days in Amherst, were unaware of the fact. The third night the car was gone but not all of the equipment. On the following morning, Mr. Oarlton, rising early for a speedy getaway, saw the long-legged young man come out of his tent, look around a bit, then start pitching out the duffle bags. Yet it is doubtful if he would have done what he did, had not he observed, half an hour later, his daughte* Atfie sauntering WNfr from the pump in the young man's company. Had there really been other opportunities for them to meet? Throwing down the tent pole he was disjointing, he strode over to the blue limousine and addressed th«j young man's father. "Sort of y how you people are trailing he said, abruptly. The other man looked sheepish, then grinned. With a cautious glance toi the direction of his wife's tent, he came over to Carlton and whispered in his ear. "Say, I'm glad of a chance to tell you all about it. It was my wife's idea. We've been doing this motor camping business for fifteen yearsbeen everywhere. Got so there was no kick out of it, going the same old places.
