"And so that was Frank's secret," remarked Bart, one afternoon as the
four chums were talking together over the strange case. "I would never
have suspected it."
"I hardly believed it myself, at times," said Frank.
"Well, we had some fun with the donkey, anyhow," put in Ned. "That was
about the only comic happening during our camping."
"I guess we've had enough of adventures to last for several vacations,"
spoke Frank. "I'm willing to settle down to a quiet life."
But a quiet life was not in store for the four boys, and why will be
related in another volume, to be called "Fenn Masterson's Discovery." In
that tale we shall learn the particulars of an interesting voyage on the
Great Lakes, and the particulars of a revelation which came to Stumpy
when he least expected it.
"Frank, I suppose you are happy now you have your father with you," said
Bart one day.
"Happy?" repeated Frank, with a little lump in his throat. "I am more
than happy. Why, I feel as if the whole world was nothing but pure
sunshine!"
"Well, we all rejoice with you," came from Ned.
"Indeed we do!" added Fenn.
