ILLUSTRATIONS

The great burnished top was set to spinning madly upon a flat
stone.

Her left hand had snatched at the dragging reins

“She won’t fail. She can’t! I see the _red_!”

“An’ you’ll laugh back at the fears, once you join the
Morning-Glory Camp Fire”

On, ploughing on, through the wet, oozing sands

A large, antique silver coin of a size and stamp such as neither
Boy Scout nor Camp Fire Girl had ever seen before
