Tuesday as the editor was hurrying along from the county seat along the boulevard to Silver Lake and thinking how bad it was that he had missed the train and remembering that he was due at Silver Lake at six o'clock to cook his supper with the boy scouts by a camp fire near the tree called " Eight - Sisters , " by the bank of the brook , Singing Water , there came a ray of hope . It was a ray of light upon the pavement and it came from the lamp of a motor car . The editor hoped that he might get a ride and save being two hours and seventeen minutes late . He was not deceived but he was " taken in " by Mr. Square Deal Palmiter , editor of the Hart Hatchet . Brother Palmiter had a new Ford which had been operated upon in an auto hospital and been given some larger lungs and a new chest so that now it is a sort of Burbanked Ford . The clothier editor had been writing up the Hatchet gashes and felt such a terrible strain that he was going down to Juniper Beach to eat supper and rest himself by listening to the roar and looking at the stretch of mighty water with its billows and foam . The Palmiter dog went along and sat beside the lamp with his ears flopping in the wind .
