IN WHICH SOME HORSES ARE STOLEN A half hour more of riding brought the little party to the bank of the stream at a point where Belle said they would be sure to find good fishing.

Here there was something of a pool, the river tumbling from some rocks above.

The pool was lined with rocks and brushwood, and behind these was a glade, backed up by the woods.
"What a lovely spot!" cried Jessie, enthusiastically, as Dave assisted her to dismount, and took charge of her horse.

"Just look at the wild flowers among the rocks! One would not believe that they could grow in such a place!" "I am glad I brought my camera with me," said Laura.

"I am sure I shall get some fine pictures." Belle showed the boys where the animals might be tethered, and they took particular care to fasten the steeds properly, as Sid Todd had instructed them.
