one for herself. Will helped bring this about, for the
government was under obligation to him and his friends for recovering
the jewels and capturing the smugglers. The reward was evenly divided.
"And I received a fine letter of thanks from my chief," said Will. "For
my first case he said it was a--corker!"
"Oh, Will!" objected his sister.
"Well, he meant that, if he didn't say it," was the answer. "And I'm
going to have a vacation which I'm going to spend down here if Betty
will let me."
"Of course I will," she said. "We'll have jolly times!"
And then began glorious days at Ocean View, days in which there was no
worriment about the packet of diamonds. Allen was allowed to keep the
mysterious box and the original of the cipher, but he was never able to
discover the meaning of it, nor who the enigmatical "B. B. B." was.
It was practically certain, however, that "B. B. B." was the real head
of the smugglers, he who furnished the money and most of the brains. But
his confederates never betrayed him. The value of the diamonds was
several thousand dollars above Mr. Nelson's estimate.
There followed vacation days of boating and bathing, with more picnics,
and Grace had all the chocolates she wanted--or at least all that were
good for her. Tin-Back came in for a share of the reward, and bought
himself, among other things, a new fish net.
And, while the outdoor girls are enjoying life at beautiful Ocean View,
we will take leave of them.
