A moment later the overwrought girl staggered and almost fell into
Walter's arms.
CHAPTER X
SUSPICIONS
"Hello!" cried Jack, springing forward to his sister's aid. "I
never knew Cora to do that before. Is she hurt, Walt?"
"No; only shocked, I guess."
"Help her into the car and put her on the rear seat," directed
Belle.
"No; keep her head up," advised Bess.
"Somebody get water!" exclaimed Diddick, turning around in a circle
to look for a spring.
Jack was rubbing his sister's hands, while Walter held her in a
reclining position.
"There's a spring over by that tree," spoke Walter. "One of you get
some water."
"I will--in my hat!" answered Parks, starting off on a run.
"Here's a cup," called Elizabeth, producing a collapsible one from a
pocket in the tonneau of the touring car.
The lad took it, and came hurrying back with it half full of liquid,
having spilled the rest on his hasty trip. Jack managed to get a
little between Cora's lips, and it revived her. She opened her eyes,
noted that Walter was holding her, and her face flushed slightly.
"I'm--I'm all right now," she declared as she tried to stand
upright.
"Better get in the car and sit down," advised Jack.
