"Tell me what I can do to earn them," urged Jane after brief reflection.
"For instance, you drive an automobile?"
"Yes; what of that?" asked Jane brightening.
"In that line a girl may win an honor if she is able to drive an
automobile for five hundred miles in one season without help or
advice----"
"Five hundred miles, why Mrs. Livingston I've driven that old rattle-trap
of mine more than two thousand miles already this season and done all the
repairing myself."
"That entitles you to a bead, a red one."
"Only one!" pouted Jane.
"Only one," smiled the Guardian.
"How may I earn another?"
"By some other achievement such as----"
"I can climb a tree."
"Tho can I," piped Tommy. "But I can't get down again."
"You ride horseback, your father tells me. You may win a bead by riding
forty miles in any five days."
"I've done better than that, too, this season."
"That is two beads. You see you were earning them all the time and did not
know it."
Jane was becoming enthusiastic. Mrs. Livingston was instilling the Camp
Girl spirit into her almost without Jane's realizing it.
"What else can I do to earn a bead? I nearly ran down a man coming out
here to-day. Do I get a bead for that?" asked the girl, causing her
companions to indulge in a merry laugh.
