"I don't believe you will have to walk much farther," went on the man. "I think the path is near here, and then it will be easier for you."

"That's a trolley-car!" cried the man. "Now we're all right."

"I think I'd better get out at the nearest telephone, to let your folks know you are all right," the man said. "They will be worrying, and if we can't get another car we may find an automobile."

The car conductor knew where there was a telephone in a drug store that they passed a little later, and the man called up Mr. Bobbsey at the lumber office.
