For a few days after Ted's talk there was no further trouble of any kind in the camp. Neither was there any further annoyance upon the part of the person or persons who had kept them in an unsettled state of mind for so long. After a time the boys began to feel that the person had tired of the contest and had gone away, for the time being, at least.
After the third day of peace one of the boys discovered that the skeleton had vanished from the hollow back of the camp. They had watched it each day to discover if possible the owner of the weird thing, but apparently during one of the slack periods of watching the owner had come and taken it. This was a relief in one sense and not in another.
