[Tom Slade on Mystery Trail by Percy Keese Fitzhugh]@TWC D-Link bookTom Slade on Mystery Trail CHAPTER THE LAST 1/6
CHAPTER THE LAST. Y-EXTRA! Y-EXTRA! The ragged little newsboys in the big city shouted themselves hoarse. "Y-extree! Y-extra! Anthony Harrington safe! Rescued by Boy Scouts! Y-extree! Mister!" And those who bought the extras learned how the kidnappers of Anthony Harrington allowed him to purchase for nine cents a turtle from a little farm boy whom he met at the station at Catskill.
And of how that turtle walked off and gave the whole thing away.
Llewellyn and Orestes got even more credit than Tom Slade, but he did not care, for a scout is a brother to every other scout, and it was all in the family. And so, as I said in the beginning, if you should visit Temple Camp, you will hear the story told of how Llewellyn, scout of the first-class, and Orestes, winner of the merit badges for architecture and music, were by their scouting skill and lore instrumental in solving a mystery and performing a great good turn. They are still there, the two of them; one in her elm, the other in Tenderfoot Pond.
And Orestes (but this is strictly confidential) has a little scout troop of her own, tenderfeet with a vengeance, for they are out of the eggs scarcely ten days.
