Hugh would have liked very well to have told the story for the sake of the great good it might do several other fellows whom he knew. This was not to be considered for a minute, he had too great a consideration for Tom and his brother to think of causing them embarrassment, as most likely they must have experienced had their story become common property.
Hugh had already begun to figure on the summer campaign, knowing that the boys would naturally expect to busy themselves with something useful as well as entertaining. In the end he was able to lay out a plan that he believed would meet with unanimous approval. Since it is about time for me to end this story, there is no need of going into particulars. When the time comes to again write of the Oakvale Scouts’ activities we shall expect to enter at length into the new schemes that would naturally enlist their attention. At such date we hope to again meet Hugh and his gallant chums of the Wolf, Otter, Hawk, Fox and Owl Patrols. Until then let it be adieu, but not farewell.
THE END.
