The High School Boys’ Fishing Trip

CHAPTER XVII
7/13

Let guests who want brook trout order them as extras.

Why, I'll eat a few of these myself, if you serve 'em." "Certainly," nodded the other man.
Proprietor Johnson had caught a new idea from the suggestion of serving the trout as an "extra" in the grill-room of the hotel.
All of a sudden he began to scent a profit.
"All right, young man," smiled Mr.Johnson.

"Begin to unload.
I'll have the scales brought out again." The weight proved to be a little over one hundred pounds.

Dick accepted an even sixty dollars, while Harry Hazelton nearly strangled himself in his efforts to keep from cheering lustily.
This money, too, was counted out.
"Are you going to bring any more fish this way ?" asked Mr.Johnson.
"I can hardly say as to that, sir," Dick hesitated.
"If you do, I can't agree positively to buy, but I'll be glad, anyway, if you'll give me the first chance.

I will see how these trout 'go' in the grill-room in the meantime." "We'll give you the first call, sir," Dick nodded.
