The middle tent had been arranged with 11 rough slab table and benches tor a dining and living room. The boys' tent with three cots and the girls' with tour, were crowded but comfortable. "It's very nice, Indeed, boys," said Miss Towne. "Come, girls, get out your aprons. I suppose you're all starved." "Walt I Walt I" cried Kent. "That's not the way this camp's going to be run.
