“Fred, I’m so glad.”

A pause.

“The cost of living is very high now,” asked Fred – “isn’t it?”

“I should say so! Diamonds will soon be cheaper than onions or potatoes or cut sugar.”

“Elsie!”

“Yes?”

“Would you like – could you – I mean – er – do you think two persons could live on thirty dollars a week?”

“Certainly!”

“How about us?”

“Oh, George!”

“Elsie!”

A blissful interval. Then —

“Elsie – I’ve completely forgotten! Those two boys I told you of are playing handball. They insisted that I confess my crimes before you met them!”

A moment later Fred was introducing Tom and Bill to Elsie. The young lady’s form of greeting was most unexpected and unconventional. Before either of the boys could surmise her intention, she had kissed them!

Of course general laughter and banter followed. Of this let us say no more.

The reader, however, may rest assured that the boys whose adventures we have followed through six volumes were always true to American ideals and aspirations. They participated in many strange and thrilling adventures. We may write of these in the near future, but for the time being, with every good wish for the bright future that appears assured to them, we will bid farewell to the Ocean Wireless Boys.

THE END
