“I will if you’ll keep me,” replied the youth. “I don’t want to go away from the _Leader_, Mr. Emberg. I’ve only just begun to be a good reporter. I haven’t learned half the business yet.” “Well, if you want to stay, I’m sure we want you,” said the city editor. “We’d hate to have you go, Larry.” “Then I’m going to stay. I’m going to continue my studies, and maybe some day I’ll get a real big assignment,” spoke Larry. And, with this ambition urging him on, we will take leave of Larry for a while. When next we hear of him, provided you care to read any more of his adventures, you may learn what he did in a story called, “Larry Dexter’s Special Assignment; or, The Hunt for the Missing Millionaire.” “So you like reporting, eh?” said Mr. Newton. “I certainly do,” answered Larry. “In fact, there is nothing that I like better. The life is full of excitement.” “And occasional perils.” “Well, the dangers can’t be helped, Mr. Newton.” “That is true. Well, Larry, I think, if you stick at it, you will make one of the best reporters in New York—and that is saying a good deal.” THE END BOOKS FOR BOYS By Howard R.
