WHAT BECAME OF THE PRIZE. "You act as if you had caught something you want us to see," said Ben, as he ran before his companions. "Let's see your fish." The muscallonge had not been placed with the other fish, and as Ben glanced down at the row which had been spread in order on the grass, he therefore did not see the prize of which his friends were so justly proud. "You did well, but we've beaten you!" he exclaimed, as Bert and Hank McBride now came up to view the victims.
