"Well," replied the other, "I was looking back the other day, at the
diary I kept while we were gone; and I find that a heap of things came
out of that same hunt up among the pines of Maine. All of us felt better
for the outing; more than one learned a lesson in perseverance that will
follow him all his life; we did a good thing in capturing those hobo
thieves, Charley Barnes and his crowd; then we made something of a
record in hunting, you with your first moose, and Bumpus with that honey
thief of a black bear; after that we helped wind up the poaching careers
of Si Kedge and Ed Harkness; and last but not least, had a hand in
bringing about that splendid family reunion that we saw on the platform,
when we stepped off the train. On the whole, Thad, all of us ought to be
mighty well satisfied with the way things have gone. I know I am."

"And you can say the same for me," added the young scoutmaster. "But
after all is said, I think the most wonderful thing to happen was how
Giraffe, after missing fire a dozen times with his little bow and stick,
should strike it _just right_ when it meant so much for him and
Bumpus. And then Bumpus paid for that treat like a little man, saying it
was worth it, ten times over, just to hear Giraffe _yell_ when he'd
succeeded in making his tinder flame up without using a single match."

And here we will leave the boys of the Silver Fox Patrol, to take up
their further adventures in the succeeding volume.
