A TRACE OF THE GIRL
103
"I suppose she was playing—she said she was very fond of sports—and she was just the age to enjoy them."
"Yes, yes!" exclaimed Betty eagerly. "Did she have—I mean what was her name—or could you describe her to us? We have a reason for asking."
"Why, I don't recall that she gave me her name," said the maid slowly, "but I can tell you how she looked."
Then, to the surprise of Betty and her chums, the hotel maid gave a good description of the girl they had seen fall out of the tree some time before—the girl who had so strangely disappeared when they went after aid for her.
"It's the same one!" cried Betty, and then she told the maid of the coincidence.
