Bob now writes Diana a letter telling her he is going into solitude to be a hermit, and leaves the city. Bob joins his chums and, when they return to the city, he buys up the camp equipment and begins to "bach" it alone. Meanwhile, Diana receives a letter from some girl chums who are also camping, to come and join them. Bob has already seen these girls, but his experience with Diana has turned him against all creatures feminine, and he disregards their appeals to come up to their stopping place and be sociable. Feeling the need of new environment, Diana joins her chums and learns of the strange young man camping nearby, who has been so rude as to warn the girls to keep away and that he has no desire to be sociable, Out of revenge the girls plan to visit his tent that night disguised as "ghosts," and give him a good scare. Out in the moonlight Bob sits on the bank of the stream, smoking his pipe and reflecting on the cussedness of womankind in general, when he happens to gaze toward the tent and sees an array of white figures prowling about. With a whoop he starts for them, in the mad scramble that follows all the girls escape but Diana, who falls aver one of the tent-pegs and sprains her ankle. Bob lifts the girl to her feet and is about to demand her identity when the sheet falls away from her face and the lovers are face to face. Excited explanations follow and it is not long before Bob has her in his arms and presses a warm kiss upon her lips, while the girls wave joyfully from the glen below.
