"Wrong, this time. There isn't the slightest resemblance that I could
observe. I thought of that, too. But let's not bother our heads about
it any further. We have things of greater importance to consider this
evening, and, besides, we must go to bed soon; we are to make an early
start in the morning, you know."
Harriet shook her brown head slowly. She was positive that she was
right in her identification of the visitor, Collins. She determined to
ask some questions at the first opportunity. This she did on the
following morning, inquiring of the hotel clerk about the man who had
so strangely called on Miss Elting. The clerk said he had never heard
of the man. In the preparations that followed Harriet forgot about the
caller. Grubb had a carry-all at the hotel before they had finished
their breakfast. The equipment for the party occupied little room.
Janus had consulted with Miss Elting about the food supplies, and these
were packed in the smallest possible space, with the exception of a few
packages for their use before they got into the mountains.
The drive to the point where they would leave the wagon would occupy
the greater part of the day.
