The detection, on Main Street, of a trio of Christmas shopping thieves led to a long chain of rousing adventures.

Right after Christmas, Dick & Co., securing permission from their parents, went for a few days of forest camping in an old log cabin of which they had been given the use.

Another phase of their adventure with the shopping district thieveries turned up in the woods and contributed greatly to the excitement of their experience.

While still camping in the old, but weather-proof cabin, the Grammar School boys found themselves snowbound in one of the greatest blizzards that had happened in that section in years.

Being hardy boys from much outdoor life, however, Dick & Co., as our readers know, turned hardship into jolly fun, and incidentally made a great discovery in the woods that turned their camping expedition into the local sensation of the hour.
