 “Anything the matter?” asked Rick, as, followed by Ruddy and Chot he hastened from the bunk1 room into the main apartment where the cold gray ashes had replaced the cheerful, blazing fire of the night before.
 
“Anything wrong?” Chot wanted to know.
 
“Well, I don’t know that you could call it wrong,” said Mr. Campbell with a pat on Ruddy’s head, “but our hosts seem to have disappeared! Did you hear them go in the night?”
 
“Have the men left?” asked Rick.
 
“I don’t see any signs of them,” was the answer. “And I slept so heavily that I didn’t hear a sound. Did either of you?”
 
“I thought I felt Ruddy moving around in the night,” Rick answered. “But I didn’t wake up or hear anything.”
 
“Me either,” admitted Chot. “But, anyhow, it’s cleared off and we can travel along.”
 
“Yes, we can travel along,” said Mr. Campbell. “I don’t believe those men will care if I help myself to some of their coffee and grub. They were free enough with it last night. If they come back, and object, I’ll pay them.”
 
“Do you know where they have gone?” Rick wanted to know.
 
Mr. Campbell shook his head.
 
“I came out here as soon as I was up,” he explained, “and I saw no one. Then I knocked on the door of their bunk room, but there was no answer. I opened the door and looked in and they were gone.”
 
“Maybe they went out early to look up some trees,” suggested Chot.
 
“What do you mean—look up trees?” asked Rick. “Do you mean to look and see if there’s a bear to shoot?”
 
“No, I mean about cutting some lumber,” explained Chot.
 
“Oh,” exclaimed his chum. “I see.”
 
“It’s possible they did that,” said Mr. Campbell. “Of course they have a right to do as they please, but they might have left a note or something to say they’d be back. But it’s their business, I reckon. And I’m going to see what sort of a breakfast I can get.”
 
“We’ll help,” offered Rick and Chot.
 
Coffee was soon boiling on the stove, and bacon was sizzling in the pan. By
