“A good murder case would be all to the cheese!” exclaimed Harry, but he was not quite as brutal as it looks in print.
“I don’t know that I’d care for a murder case,” mused Bob. “But I guess, if I ever really get into the game, I’ll have to take everything that comes along.”
“Get into the game? What do you mean?” cried Ned. “Aren’t you in the game for fair, now? Look how you solved the golden eagle mystery. Then we went to Beacon Beach and you cleaned up there. And now you found Hiram’s treasure.”
“And it was nearly a murder case at that!” remarked Bob in a low voice. “If the blow had been a little harder, Hiram would have passed out. But what’s the use speculating on what will happen next? If another case comes my way I’ll tackle it.”
And the young detective soon had another case, as you may read of in the next volume of this series to be called “Bob Dexter and the Silver Lake Mystery, or the Dweller of the Black Cavern.”
“But now I’m going to get ready to go back to school,” said Bob. “And if we’re going to have a football team it’s time we got in some practice. Come on, fellows!”
And with whoops of joy they followed their leader.
THE END
