"History often repeats itself, you know."
Allen sighed as they started homeward. "We won't be able to come
anywhere near them now, fellows," he said. "They'll have suffrage
banners hung all over the house."
The girls laughed, for after all they _had_ won through Mollie, and the
taste of triumph was very sweet.
"Wasn't it grand!" cried Betty.
"The best ever!" returned Grace, as she popped a chocolate candy in her
mouth.
"I'd like another such race," said Mollie, wistfully.
CHAPTER XXIII
HIDDEN TREASURE
The week that followed the Outdoor Girls remembered as just one endless
round of fun. With the exception of two days, the weather was perfect.
They traveled over to town on the rickety ferryboat several times. They
took the cars out of the garage for short spins about the country, and
otherwise amused themselves.
Then, too, the fish in the unrivaled fishing pool proved just as
agreeable as they had on that first day, and provided many delicious
suppers for the young people. The only thing that served to mar their
pleasure was the continued reluctance of the mysterious cave to come to
light--it was as though the earth had opened and swallowed it up.
