of the
tower, and finally saw them lower the lady in safety to the ground,
where Billy and Arthur, and many of the motion-picture players, waited
to receive them.

And last but not least, just as the scene closed, the three scouts
were discovered sliding swiftly down the rope past the hungry tongues
of fire.

The triumph of the scouts was complete. Men shouted, boys shrilled,
and women laughed and cried and kissed each other. Never before had
such excitement taken possession of an audience in Oakvale. How proud
it made them to realize that their local organization was being advertised
all over the broad land, yes, even in other foreign lands as well,
it might be, so that Oakvale would soon become famous because of its
scout troop.

Through it all Hugh seemed to sit unmoved, though he shook hands with
the admiring crowds as they came up to offer congratulations, and
laughed heartily to see how Billy Worth strutted around, swelled with
pride.

"It was a whole lot of fun while it lasted," Hugh was telling a bunch
of the fellows, after the show was over. "But when a thing is done
with you can't extract much enjoyment out of the memory. What I'm
more concerned about right at this, minute is where we are going to
find another chance for an outing in the coming Thanksgiving holidays.
I'd like some of you to get busy thinking up a scheme, that will just
about fill the bill."

That somebody did engineer a plan along lines that promised to take
some of the fellows out of the beaten rut for the brief holidays,
can be set down as certain, judging from the nature of the title of
the succeeding volume of this series, "The Boy Scouts on the Roll
of Honor," and which, it is hoped; all who have enjoyed the present
story will procure without delay.
