Through it all Hugh seemed to sit unmoved, though he shook hands with the admiring crowds as they came up to offer congratulations, and laughed heartily to see how Billy Worth strutted around, swelled with pride.
“It was a whole lot of fun while it lasted,” Hugh was telling a bunch of the fellows, after the show was over. “But when a thing is done with you can’t extract much enjoyment out of the memory. What I’m more concerned about right at this, minute is where we are going to find another chance for an outing in the coming Thanksgiving holidays. I’d like some of you to get busy thinking up a scheme, that will just about fill the bill.”
That somebody did engineer a plan along lines that promised to take some of the fellows out of the beaten rut for the brief holidays, can be set down as certain, judging from the nature of the title of the succeeding volume of this series, “The Boy Scouts on the Roll of Honor,” and which, it is hoped; all who have enjoyed the present story will procure without delay.
