When the lads had shaken hands until their arms ached, they climbed into the stage, and the driver whipped up his team. As they rolled down the straggling, familiar street, cheers went up from the hotel and were echoed all along the sidewalks.
“Three cheers for Merriwell, Clancy, and Ballard!” rang out the cry, and they were given again and again with a hearty good will.
“Seems almost like we were leaving home,” sniffed Clancy.
“That’s right, Red!” agreed Ballard.
But Merriwell said nothing. He could not trust himself to speak.
THE END.
“Frank Merriwell, Jr.’s Mission” will be the title of the next volume of the Merriwell Series, No. 218. Burt L. Standish has outdone himself in this latest narrative. It is a tale of sympathetic understanding and real friendship, as well as a story of action and excitement.
