oughly. Plans for the future
were soon under way; and after several days spent among his neighbors,
as the doctor termed those who were no longer squatters, since each
family owned a tract of land besides that upon which their cabin was
built, he again turned his face toward the north.

It might be well to say right here that things began to boom from that
day; and at present the community where McGee still holds sway is a
prosperous town, with happy homes, in which the comforts of life may be
found, as well as a few of the luxuries. Little Madge did positively
recover her sight, the bandages being removed before the departure of
the great oculist.

Tony went down with Phil and Larry to the gulf, and spent a couple of
months in their company that he would never forget. Later on he was
given a chance to attend school, and one dream of his mother's heart
was realized.

And Larry, too, learned many a useful lesson during that time, which
would be apt to help him climb the ladder as an ambitious Boy Scout,
once he found himself back in his home city.

Pete had turned up before they left for the gulf; and being supplied
with more funds by Doctor Lancing kept on his way. Later on they heard
from him in Mobile, where his family had joined him; and neither of the
two Dixie Chums ever found reason to regret that they had helped him
evade the "dawgs" of the vindictive Southern sheriff.
