"We'll go to Lakewood and surprise your mother," said her father. "I need a rest after my hard work in keeping away from Larry Dexter. I'll telephone the detective agency. I suppose the manager will be disappointed that a newspaper man beat him," which was exactly how the manager felt.
The young reporter, bidding Grace and her father good-bye, returned to the office of the Leader, going down in Fritsch's auto.
"Well, you have given us some news!" exclaimed Mr. Emberg. "Look at that!"
He held up the paper, the front page of which was almost all taken up with the story of the missing millionaire.
"I suppose that ends my special assignment, then."
"This one is finished," spoke the city editor, "but I may have another for you."
"What kind?"
"I'll tell you later."
Those of my readers who want to know what Larry's next assignment was may learn by reading the fourth volume of this series, to be called:
"Larry Dexter and the Bank Mystery, or, A Young Reporter in Wall Street." In that story we shall follow the young reporter through adventures which were exciting in the extreme.
