ADVENTURES OF THE CHUMS

We were left -wondering last week whether Gwen would insist upon climbing the cliff to get her sunshade. It appears that she was determined. The chums had i a'terrible argument.' ■> . • “You’ll be killed.for sure,” warned Richard. . . “I don’t care,” yelled Gwen. “I’m not going to lose my sunshade.
