"If we hadn't got the boat back our outing would have been spoiled,"

SOME FINE FISHING
The four boy hunters were soon down at the lake shore preparing their

"It is---on the outside. But on the inside! No more of it for me!"
"Did they pay you much?" questioned Whopper.
"I was supposed to get ten dollars a week, but I didn't. Every
time payday came around they'd deduct something for extras I had

usually got two or three dollars, and that I had to spend on clothing,
shoes---and eating, for the meals weren't heavy at the show.
