"Well, in spite of our troubles, it's been a grand outing!" declared Roger.
"I've had a perfectly lovely time!" came from Jessie. "But I do hope Dave never again runs into such trouble as he had up here."
"Well, a fellow has got to take things as they come," answered our hero.
And here, with the future looking cloudless and bright, we will leave Dave Porter and say good-bye.
