THE OUTDOOR CHUMS IN THE BIG WOODS

THE SNOWBALL BATTLE

"That looks like a challenge, Frank."

"It was well fired, at any rate, Bluff!"

"I should say yes, because it knocked my hat clear off my head. Do we stand for that sort of thing, or shall we accept the dare?"

"There are half a dozen and more of the enemy against four Outdoor Chums, but what of that? This is the first snow of the fall, with a real tang in the air. Say yes, Frank, and let's get busy!"

"Here are Bluff and Jerry ready to eat up that crowd in a snowball fight. What do you say, Will?"

"Oh, count me in, because I can see they're just spoiling for it!" exclaimed the fourth boy in the party, who did not look quite so hardy as his comrades, although no weakling.

"Well, I should think it'd be a shame to miss it, when the snow is just soft enough to handle easily," and Jerry Wellington held up a big round ball he had quickly manipulated in his practiced hands.

"That settles it. Everybody get busy making a supply of ammunition. Then we'll charge their line, and give them as good as they send!"

The last speaker was Frank Langdon. His three comrades had always been proud to look up to Frank as their leader. They had been through a great many lively adventures together, and up to the present no one had ever found cause to regret the fact that when it came to deciding on their plans Frank's word carried the greatest weight.

While they are feverishly stocking up with a supply of such ammunition as is required to win snowball battles, it might be well for the new reader to learn a few important facts concerning Frank and his chums, as narrated in previous volumes of this series.
