Doctor Pelton saw that Cameron and Fenton were well cared for on their arrival at Katalla, and a handsome present was sent to the federal officer by Frank Disbrow.
Frank and Bert accompanied the Boy Scouts to Chicago and later on became very warm friends. The two members of the Fox patrol, Sam White and Ed Hannon, traveled with tho boys as far as Portland.
When the boys reached Chicago, Babcock was arrested and the unmistakable thumb prints secured the immediate release of Hurley and Spaulding.
"There's one thing we've forgotten," Tommy said as the boys landed in Chicago, one autumn morning.
"What's that?" asked Will.
"We neglected to bring back that bear hide!"
"I should think you'd want that bear hide!" laughed Frank.
"I should think you'd be ashamed to look the bear in the face!" declared Sandy.
The boys received the promised reward for the discovery of the plans and once more settled down in Chicago to take up their studies.
