3068829?
3068844?
30688And why should it?
30688But if the spring balance said the thing weighed five pounds how would you know if it was right?
30688But what do we mean in words of electrons and atoms?
30688But what would happen if we should decrease the capacity and increase the inductance?
30688By the way, do you know what a"circuit"is?
30688Can you tell me what is going to happen to the stream of electrons in the plate circuit?
30688Did you ever sing or howl down a rain barrel or into a long pipe or hallway and hear the sound?
30688Do they ever begin again?
30688Do they let the sulphate ions keep giving that plate more electrons?
30688Do you remember the gang of boys that fellow had to drive off his property?
30688Do you remember what was happening in the tube?
30688Do you see what this means?
30688Do you want a picture of it?
30688For 1 ohm it would take 1 volt to give a current of 1 ampere, would n''t it?
30688How about the zinc plate?
30688How do they differ?
30688How else do they differ?
30688How is it done?
30688How long does it go on?
30688How many?
30688How would you know that the weights you used to calibrate your scale were really what you thought them to be?
30688If a coil of resistance three ohms is carrying two amperes what is the voltage across the terminals of the coil?
30688If an e. m. f. of 8 volts is sending current through a resistance of 2 ohms, how much current is flowing?
30688If you wanted to find the weight of something you would take a scale and weigh it, would n''t you?
30688In the meantime what has happened?
30688Is it ever going to stop?
30688It''s an alternating current, is n''t it?
30688Notice that I told the number of ohms and the number of volts, what are you going to tell?
30688Now what are the hydrogen ions to do?
30688Now what do we have?
30688Now what happens inside the audion?
30688Now what happens to the electrons, the rude boys who are dodging their way along the sidewalk?
30688Now what''s going to happen?
30688Now, how far will the energy which is sent out from the antenna travel during the time it takes for one oscillation of the current in the antenna?
30688Of course you might take what ever it was down town and weigh it on some other scales but how would you know those scales gave correct weight?
30688On the other hand why use the tube under the first conditions where we need a large plate battery?
30688That is all right, you think, but what are we to do when the batteries are not just equal in e. m. f.?
30688The question always is: How large in percent is the difference between the two frequencies?
30688What about the current which flows in coil_ cd_?
30688What are the hydrogen ions going to do?
30688What becomes of them?
30688What determines the significance of the sounds which he utters?
30688What do we mean by the word"rate?"
30688What do we mean when we say"the wire gets hot?"
30688What does that mean about its nucleus?
30688What does that mean?
30688What does the capacity depend upon?
30688What effect is this C- battery, or grid- battery, going to have on the current in the_ plate circuit_?
30688What happens then to the molecules of air which are adjacent to the vibrating string?
30688What happens to the plate current on the average?
30688What if there had been two different gangs playing there?
30688What is a radio set?
30688What is the result?
30688What is the result?
30688What must we do then to make a condenser with large capacity?
30688What will happen if the e. m. f. which is active on the grid of the detector is made stronger or weaker?
30688What will happen?
30688What will the kind of atom depend upon?
30688What would be the net effect?
30688What would happen if we should then disconnect the battery?
30688What would he mean?
30688What''s going to happen?
30688Where are they to go?
30688Where do these electrons come from?
30688Where do these electrons come from?
30688Where do they go?
30688Where does it get its ability to work-- that is, where does the"energy"come from which runs the set?
30688Why does it get hot?
30688Why should n''t the electrons in this waiting- room go home to that of plate 1?
30688Why?
30688You would be making the grid_ alternately_ positive and negative, would n''t you?
30688[ Illustration: Fig 21] One member of the Council jumped up and said"But what if the grid is made negative?"
30688[ Illustration: Fig 40] How would he do it?
45490Ai n''t there something I can do?
45490And did he-- could he?
45490And did you build electrical things too?
45490And some of the ice pillars will do for anchor posts to knot the ropes a-- Hi, what''s that?
45490And you''re countin''on that high- sittin''wire to pick up music out of the air for you?
45490But the Nardak? 45490 Do you think I could help you upstairs?"
45490Eh, what''s that now?
45490Hey, Pompey,the boy held out his best silk necktie,"how about trading me those skins for this?"
45490Hi, be you man or devil?
45490How-- how''d you ever find us so quick?
45490I can, ca n''t I, ma?
45490I-- I-- how will I ever thank you?
45490In trouble? 45490 Is it the-- the end?
45490Know anything about batteries?
45490Oh, Marse Gem, is you kilt?
45490Radio? 45490 Renaud of the Radio, do you want to go to the Arctic?"
45490Renaud of the Radio, do you want to go to the Arctic?
45490Renaud-- up about Foyn-- are you on the air? 45490 Say, you, ai n''t you coming?"
45490Scared?
45490Scotty,queried Lee, looking out over the limitless stretches of broken, drifting white,"how big is this sea we are in?"
45490The glass wheel-- you never saw anything like it before, eh?
45490The radio- room, eh? 45490 Uncle Gem,"he questioned,"why is a little chain hung from the fur cushions so as to just dangle down against the floor-- what''s it good for?"
45490Want to know something about that?
45490We can come again, huh, ca n''t we?
45490What and all you going to do with this here power you are getting out of the air?
45490What for be you rigged up to scare honest folk out of the road?
45490What for? 45490 What for?"
45490What has happened? 45490 What is it?
45490What is it? 45490 What''s the matter?
45490Wonder if I could make electricity with it?
45490You ain''t-- you ai n''t sorter scared?
45490You gonner let us see it all-- what you gonner show to Jimmy? 45490 Ah-- a word with you, Captain?
45490All right, young man,"motioning Lee to follow,"want to see this''cigar''of mine at close quarters?"
45490And like a miracle sweeping over that yellow torrent, a sound came to him in the receiver:"Renaud?
45490And now this mysterious call,"F- O- Y- N."Did that call hold the answer to the dark riddle of the lost ship?
45490And now would this simple mechanism transmit sound for more than the few yards for which it had been tested thus far?
45490And should the Nardak still be safe, and navigable, how would her searching crew ever find the castaways, three minute dots on the vast sheet of ice?
45490Anyhow, Jimmy Bobb allowed he wanted to set eyes on you, and I come to take you to him--""Jimmy Bobb, who''s he?
45490Atmospheric condition-- disaster-- storm, who could tell what?
45490But how could they get help-- how let people know of their perilous position?
45490But of what?
45490But why-- what did it mean?
45490CHAPTER V TAPS"What''s this?
45490CHAPTER VII HARNESSING LIGHTNING POWER"Aiming for to go up to Renaud''s?"
45490CHAPTER VIII COMPRESSED POWER"How far a piece you goner take it?"
45490Can she make it?"
45490Did n''t it work?
45490Did n''t you get that?"
45490Do n''t you hear the buzzer?"
45490Do n''t you know a gunshot when you hear one?"
45490From within the cabin, Granger''s weak voice called fretfully, wanting to know what the shouting was, what was happening?
45490Got the sound, but it was distorted, like the singer was yelling out of the side of his mouth--""You''ve made radio, huh?
45490Had anyone heard it?
45490Had the dirigible caught fire, or was this merely a smoke signal?
45490Had the silver hull of the Nardak gone up in flames?
45490He had been hoping to experiment some with electricity himself, but what had he out here to work with?
45490He had infantile para-- para something--""Paralysis, was it?"
45490He was in touch with something-- but what, where?
45490How are we found?"
45490How can we hope?"
45490How could the great ship smash through to the tiny island without sinking it?
45490How could the monster heave in to them without drowning them?
45490How do you hitch all those little signs up so that they mean something on an instrument?"
45490How in Kingdom Come was he, who knew so little about electricity, going to explain it to a fellow who knew even less?
45490Huh?"
45490I thought it was housed in here?"
45490In the dark silence beyond the open window, what manner of fiend was waiting to shoot down innocent people?
45490Is that all there is to it?"
45490It makes bright lights and runs telephones and street cars and talking machines--""How might a street car look?
45490It would be all right, would n''t it?"
45490Lee raced to the door and flung himself inside, shouting,"Jimmy, Jimmy, where are you?"
45490New station, eh?
45490Now, young man, do you see?"
45490Or was that wavering smoke line a beacon, lighted by their shipmates where they had landed?
45490Over there, could he believe his eyes?
45490Rather far extremes, eh?
45490Receiver, or transmitter?"
45490Say that this wire came all the way back from Birmingham and connected with the other pole of my battery, what would that make?"
45490Say, want to go to the hotel first or straight out to the Nardak''s hangar?"
45490Suppose a tempest rolled up, drove their ice field hither and yon on the sea, smashed and ground it to pieces?
45490Suppose he were dead?
45490Suppose he were in his coffin?
45490Suppose the new acid- treated plates worked no better than the old ones?
45490Tele-- telephone, what''s that?"
45490That you?
45490The shutters of the next room were flung open and Great- uncle Gem''s voice rang out angrily,"What you up to on that roof?
45490This shooting-- must have been that old fool, Johnny Poolak-- taking another shot at the glass wheel--""Sh- shooting at the wheel?"
45490Want to go for the ride?"
45490Was n''t that the engine slowing, the pilot"cutting the gun"for a swoop to their floe?
45490Was that a stealthy padding, a footstep-- was he being followed?
45490What could be the end?
45490What did it all mean?
45490What did it mean?
45490What do you know about magnets and magnetism and electromagnets?"
45490What do you think of your first ride in a dirigible?"
45490What does he want with me?"
45490What had happened?
45490What hope could they have?
45490What if they did ever reach that barren, ice- sheathed island?
45490What is it?"
45490What makes it act all alive?"
45490What was this gang up to?
45490What would happen in this unexplored land?
45490What would the end be?
45490What''s that you''re up to?"
45490What''s the matter?"
45490What''s this?"
45490Where are you?"
45490Where''s the hammer, the chisel?"
45490Who are you, brother?
45490Who wants to join this mighty organization?"
45490Who''s in trouble?
45490Why had he forced himself to live?
45490Why had n''t he let himself go in that first quick, merciful stupor?
45490Will she capsize?"
45490Wires had to be soldered-- but with what?
45490Wonder if we can mount them now?"
45490Would Renaud go?
45490Would he ever be able to send another?
45490Would this sagging, sinking building last much longer?
45490You do n''t really mean to leave it?"
45490You-- you hear me?
45490gasped the worn, emaciated Captain Jan."The miracle?
11861''What kind of copy does he make?''
11861A reward; is it?
11861But we need the money; do n''t we, Gus?
11861Can we all listen in?
11861Chem--? 11861 Damage?
11861Do n''t you care?
11861Do you think you can do it?
11861For goodness''sake, Skeets, are you ever going to get the habit of keeping yourself upright?
11861Ghost? 11861 Here we are, Gus, and how can I ever get square with you?"
11861How deep you goin''into that hill? 11861 How did you come here-- what--?"
11861I make it:''Is it all right, then?'' 11861 I reckon you lads, when you git this thing made that''s goin''to hoodoo the air, will be startin''in an''tryin''somethin''else; eh?"
11861I suppose your dad and most other guys got their dough all by accident while they were trying to help other folks; eh?
11861If I say something to you, real confidentially, you wo n''t give me away, will you? 11861 In just what way, can you imagine?"
11861Is he keen for all new- fangled things?
11861Is n''t it dandy, Gus?
11861It could n''t have been any of our chemicals, could it?
11861Kin you improve on the Perfesser?
11861Know anything about this business, George?
11861More crooked business? 11861 Napoleon?
11861No; but would n''t I like to? 11861 Now, Mr. Hooper, we''re not fixed to make a triangulation measurement to- day, but----""Not fixed?
11861Now, then, let''s all get busy and----"Righto, Billy, but what will our folks think has become of us when it''s so late?
11861Oh, Billy, you ca n''t say that, can you?
11861Oh, Gus, do you think Ben Shultz was dreaming?
11861Oh, am I,--no, not dead? 11861 Really?"
11861She''s no snob like Terry and would n''t she enjoy this?
11861Thad, he do n''t reckon he can be learned a thing, an''he''s so blame sure-- say, Thad, how''bout that bet?
11861The old geezer looks like''His Master''s Voice,''do n''t he?
11861They ca n''t hear us, can they?
11861Well, Professor, you''re beginnin''to git at it, eh? 11861 What did this fellow look like?"
11861What you drivin''that there stake down there for? 11861 What''s the idea of curvin''it?"
11861What? 11861 What?
11861When he said he saw Thad out there in the barren ground woods by the old cabin? 11861 Who asked you for your two cents''worth?"
11861You think they do, but have you any proof of it? 11861 You''ve read a lot about Edison, have n''t you, Bill?"
11861''How would forty thousand dollars strike you?''
11861''Tain''t natch''all an''''taint possible now, is it?"
11861Ah ai n''t gwine lose mah job jes''fo''dodgin''a ghos'', is I?"
11861An''Gus, here, him an''Bill, they think about alike; eh, Gus?"
11861An''phwat air yes doin''here?"
11861And how did she know anything out of which to give it?
11861And the incandescent electric lamp-- how about that?
11861And when they would say,''I do n''t know,''he''d get mad and yell:''_ Why_ do n''t you know?''"
11861And why would n''t she give any names?"
11861And, what do you think?
11861Are you on?"
11861But are you hurt?"
11861But he had to earn his living-- didn''t he?
11861But we need the money; eh, Gus?"
11861But we''ll join in with the class on this; eh, Dot?"
11861But what do the bunch want?"
11861But what need they care after they get their money?"
11861But you will, I''ll bet, and it will be yours; not--""What are you talking about?
11861But, Mr. Hooper, you would n''t know Mr. Edison''s voice if you heard it, would you?"
11861But, anyway, what of it?"
11861CHAPTER XVII THE UNEXPECTED"Where did you come from, Gus?"
11861Ca n''t you see they''re dreadfully busy?
11861Cakes, candy, bananas and ice cream; eh?"
11861Can I help you up?
11861Can you sit still here, please, till I see about George?
11861Could you----?"
11861Did he say anything to you as you came out about being shy on this radio business?"
11861Did he?
11861Do n''t want to make me mad; eh?
11861Do n''t you know, old chap?
11861Do n''t you think that a fitting subject upon an occasion where electricity is the chief factor?
11861Do you all follow that?
11861Do you feel a little better?
11861Does he really think the wizard is the child of some guy named Eddy?"
11861Got any notion who it was that done it?"
11861Grace, you''re driving your little runabout?
11861Gus had whispered each signal to Bill; then he asked:"What do you make it?"
11861He says--""I do n''t suppose it makes much difference what he says; he simply does n''t know what he''s talk--""You think you know, but do you?
11861He was surprised, for it was almost as plain as print, and asked:"''Can he take it off the wire like that?''
11861Honest, for sure?"
11861Hooper?"
11861How about Napoleon?"
11861How about that flash and bang we heard last night?"
11861How about that warning Grace gave you?
11861How much do you want for them?"
11861How much fall you goin''to git on that Pullet wheel?"
11861How''s that?"
11861I can imagine your uncle--""So?
11861I''m a heap int''rested in this Eddy''s son business, ai n''t I?
11861If it were n''t for you, Gus, I guess, I''d have a hard time in--""By cracky, if it were n''t for you, old scout, where would I be?
11861In the name of the millions who are not''listening in''on this, wo n''t you please write this sentiment so that it can be seen as well as heard?"
11861Is n''t he a nice old fellow, even though he''s awfully rich?"
11861Is that what you wanted us to say, Professor?"
11861It is n''t a diff----""What''s try- angleation?"
11861Just a moment?"
11861Las''night, close on t''mawnin''?
11861Laugh, will you?"
11861Listen, you pusillanimous, knock- kneed shrimp?
11861Mr. Hooper listened; then voiced a further and evidently suggested opposition:"Them lads is from the town here; ai n''t they?
11861Mr. Hooper would n''t want us to keep quiet on this; would he?"
11861My first thought was:''How can I, a poor man, reward the dear lad for risking his life to save my child''s?''
11861No objections?
11861Now, then, here''s the dope: Did Edison really ever do anything much to help with the war?"
11861Now, what would you fellows advise in this matter?"
11861Oh, are you_ hurt_?
11861Only two words were spoken, a"_ You_, huh?"
11861Perhaps Grace had only fainted; should he go to George first?
11861Ran away and from your duty?
11861See?
11861Storey?''
11861Strange, is n''t it, how we often are reminded of funny things even in the midst of danger?
11861Struck any snags yit?
11861They--""Them boys?
11861Think I ai n''t wantin''to see that there contraption that hears a hunderd miles off?
11861Too lazy?
11861Well, now, let''s set down here in the middle; eh, Mother?
11861Well, people, I''m going home; who''s along?"
11861Well, who was right?"
11861Were they in collusion?
11861What stopped him?"
11861What they do n''t know would fill a libra--""How''bout that there triang-- what you call it?
11861What''s happened here?"
11861What''s kids know about puttin''in water wheels an''''letric lights?
11861What-- where was any ghost?"
11861When you goin''to git at it reg''lar?"
11861When?
11861Whut you''low was de because o''dis givin''way?"
11861Why would n''t surveyors git from here to yan that a- way,''stead o''usin''chains?
11861Will it go out like a stack of cards, or wo n''t it?
11861Wo n''t it be a mess?
11861Wo n''t you let him hit his own trail, foot- loose?"
11861You all read, did n''t you, that the lectures were to be repeated by request in two months after the last talk?
11861You can''t-----""Maybe if you knew how to use your fists, you would n''t talk that way; eh, Gus?"
11861You going to make one-- you and Gus?"
11861You mean that; do n''t you?"
11861You reckon that''s so?
11861You two?
11861You--""Say, now, what''s the matter?"
39262A chance? 39262 All right, then,"responded Dick, quickly,"as long as you feel that way, and I do n''t, why do n''t you serve yourself up to the suffering sharks?
39262And phwat do yez think of the old man?
39262At the rate this old boat''s going now we ought to sight them pretty soon, do n''t you think so, sir?
39262But now that he''s left you for a time, why do n''t you make an attempt to trap or kill him?
39262But was n''t Captain Manning fine through it all?
39262But what are we going to do now? 39262 But what shall we do when we find them?"
39262But you will come with us, too, wo n''t you?
39262But, Doctor, is that really so or is it only a story?
39262Carried unanimously,added Bert,"but where?"
39262Gee, fellows, can you see anything that looks like land?
39262Has any one been here except you and your men?
39262Have you anything definite as yet?
39262He is n''t exactly a beauty,assented Tom, looking after the retreating figure,"but then what Chinaman is?
39262How are things going?
39262How did you get past the sentries?
39262How do you stay on the thing when you once get there?
39262How far can she talk, Bert?
39262How far have they been able to send under the very best conditions?
39262How far off do you suppose it is now?
39262How shall we go?
39262Hunting wolves?
39262I agree with him there,said Bert,"but do you know the way?"
39262I guess there''s nothing very much the matter with the old car, eh, fellows?
39262I suppose that was what you might call a tank steamer, was n''t it?
39262I wonder what they''re for?
39262I''ll bet any money they are keeping their prisoner in one of those shacks, fellows,said Bert,"but what do you suppose the other one is for?
39262If that hook once gets caught in his gizzard, we''ll have him on board unless the rope breaks, wo n''t we mates?
39262If that was the cause,ventured Bert,"is it not possible that their panic may leave them, and that they may return?"
39262Is this your first try at the surf boards?
39262It is fierce, is n''t it?
39262It would be an awful loss, would n''t it?
39262Make believe we wo n''t make things hum in little old Hawaii, eh, fellows?
39262Nae doot, nae doot,agreed the old Scotsman,"and what credit do ye suppose we got for all our work?
39262Nice little toy, is n''t it?
39262Oh, what''s the use?
39262Rather rough on a fellow, do n''t you think?
39262Shall you attempt to return her to her owners?
39262So you are the Wilson whose fadeaway ball won the pennant, are you?
39262That''s what it is, all right,agreed Tom,"but how are we going to tell which one is the prisoner''s, and which the king''s?
39262The young fool,growled one of the passengers,"has n''t he got any more sense than to do a thing like that?
39262There are quite a few, are n''t there?
39262They-- why Bert, what''s the matter?
39262Those fellows handle them smartly, do n''t they?
39262Was her cargo a valuable one?
39262Was there, perhaps, a leak?
39262We''ll get him, all right, never fear,said Mr. Collins, reassuringly,"but how do you stand now?
39262Well, Bert, how does she go?
39262Well, that''s the way with all of us, is n''t it?
39262Well,said Ralph,"how about the eats?"
39262Well,smiled the doctor, as they came up the side,"how did you enjoy your first day ashore in China?"
39262What are your plans for the summer, Wilson?
39262What can be the matter with her?
39262What could have driven them to such a desperate measure as abandoning a ship in sound condition and so well provisioned? 39262 What did he do then?"
39262What did you do about it?
39262What do you suppose he''s saying?
39262What do you think about it?
39262What do you think of it, Doctor? 39262 What do you think of the present revolution in China, doctor?"
39262What is it, Bert, do you see anything?
39262What is it? 39262 What is it?
39262What ship can she be?
39262What was it? 39262 What''s all this about dynamite bombs and getting blown up?"
39262What''s the limit, anyway, Bert?
39262What''s the matter with piling our luggage into the car and going right over to the hotel? 39262 What''s the matter with taking the''Gray Ghost''along?"
39262What, us? 39262 Where could they find anyone to take his place?"
39262Where do they get the money?
39262Why do n''t you do as I do, pick things up and look for them afterward?
39262Why does she drift in that aimless fashion?
39262Why not?
39262Why, how was that?
39262Why, man, what are you talking about?
39262Why, not the wireless operator that the company told me they had engaged to make this trip?
39262Why? 39262 Will it bring the people more into sympathy with our way of looking at things?"
39262Will you please tell me what they think they have on their feet?
39262Wo n''t you tell us about them, now?
39262You do n''t expect him to come up and swally the bait right on scratch, like as though he was paid to do it, do ye? 39262 You do n''t really think there''s a chance?"
39262You do n''t think we''re going to give in without a struggle, do you, when we have some shelter here and guns in our hands? 39262 You would n''t want it to go it blind and bump head first into the side, would you?"
39262''Very good, and you?''
39262''What good will a sharp stick do?''
39262After all, they were alive, snatched by a miracle from a hideous death; and how could or dared they complain of minor ills?
39262All hands ready?"
39262And is n''t that a picture, that avenue with the double border of palm trees?
39262And what are those funny, bobbing things in the water?
39262As long as-- ah, here you are, eh, Mr. Wilson?
39262But do you catch any whiff here that reminds you of ottar of roses or the perfume wafted from''Araby the blest?''"
39262But what on earth brings you here, three thousand miles from home?"
39262But would she reach them in time?
39262But, by the way, where will we get the skees?"
39262By the way, doctor, how is he?
39262By the way,"he added, as a second thought,"what hotel are we going to?"
39262CHAPTER XVI THE PIRATE ATTACK"Not very pretty to look at, is he?"
39262Ca n''t you?"
39262Can either of you think of a better plan than that?"
39262Can you beat it?"
39262Coming, Bert?
39262Could she make it?
39262Did anyone ever hear of anything like this?"
39262Did they hear in imagination the gathering of shadowy hosts, the tread of marching armies, and the distant thunder of artillery?
39262Did you ever see anything on Fifth Avenue that looked like that?"
39262Do n''t you fellows smell it?"
39262Do you feel able to make a dash now?"
39262Do you think you could allow me and my friend, Mr. Trent, to go along?
39262For was n''t Bert his guest and was n''t he there to give his guest a good time, especially as he, Ralph, had driven the car the day before?
39262For who can tell at what moment the apparatus might be disabled?
39262Have a little patience about ye, why do n''t ye?
39262How many did the beast get before you got away from him?"
39262How would he like it?
39262How would you fellows like to come along?
39262How would you like the position?"
39262However,"he added,"I''ve got a brace of pistols in my cabin, and I suppose you have, too, have n''t you, sir?"
39262I guess you left that out of your calculations, did n''t you?"
39262I suppose all you fellows will go with me, wo n''t you?"
39262I suppose maybe you think that''s nothing to find, huh?"
39262I''ll bet on the-- What was that?"
39262It is etiquette to ask the religious belief of your new acquaintances, so our Chinaman asks the first of them:''Of what religion are you?''
39262Just as he was going off to sleep, a voice came from the other room:''Say, when in thunder are you going to drop that other shoe?''"
39262Just before they went to sleep that night Bert called into Ralph,"Say, Ralph, what do you love best in the world?"
39262MacGregor?"
39262Of whom did it remind him?
39262Pain, fear, suffering, disaster, danger, death,--what had such words as these to do with this merry company?
39262Say, is n''t that the car coming over now?"
39262See it now?"
39262There is an instance of the irony of fate, is n''t it?"
39262There, do n''t you think I''ve mastered the subject and learned my lesson well?"
39262Though that knife did come pretty near doing the trick, did n''t it?
39262To change the subject, what are you doing up here when you ought to be taking down wireless messages?"
39262Understand?"
39262Was it a touch of prophecy?
39262Was it mutiny?"
39262Was it not fitted with water- tight compartments?
39262Were they below?
39262What did you find?"
39262What do you expect to get for your twelve dollars a month and found?"
39262What do you say?"
39262What was it he called it?"
39262What was it?"
39262What''s the latest news from the distressed vessel?"
39262Who knew when they would see it again, or through what perils they might pass before they once more touched its shores?
39262Who shall attempt to record the history of that hour?
39262Who''d want to do anything like that?"
39262Why did we wake him up unless we wanted to tempt fate and court destruction?
39262Will he live?"
39262You wo n''t disappoint your friends on a little point like that, will you, Dick?"
39262exclaimed Dick,"what''s a swimming net?"
39262said Bert, in a strained voice,"what do you mean?"
39262what is it?"
39262yelled Bert,"for your lives, do you hear me?
38453A doctor, eh?
38453A loud speaker is something that looks like an old- fashioned phonograph horn, is n''t it?
38453Anything you do n''t do by radio?
38453Are n''t you afraid you''ll be hunchbacked carrying both those bales of goods?
38453Are you in the entertainment game now?
38453Are you ready to go with me right away to the station?
38453Are you ready?
38453Are you sure you can do it, Bob?
38453Aw, what''s your awful rush?
38453Bruno get ugly? 38453 But do n''t you expect it to work?"
38453But how would that affect it?
38453But say, fellows, what''s the program for tomorrow?
38453But what is it you''re after just at present?
38453But what made it fade away in that fashion?
38453But who''s going to drive the car?
38453But why ca n''t you bring your old wireless things into the hotel parlor and let us all hear some music? 38453 But why do n''t you share some of your fun with us?"
38453Can I believe my ears?
38453Could we see your radio set?
38453Did n''t I tell you that radio was the best ever? 38453 Did you boys really know enough about radio to talk all afternoon with the man in charge of the government station?"
38453Did you ever see him when he was n''t?
38453Did you hear anything?
38453Did you hear that?
38453Did you hear the latest prediction of Marconi?
38453Did you see that look?
38453Do n''t you know there is only one place where we could be going after hearing such rotten news as we''ve just heard?
38453Do n''t you remember last night that he said he must get a message through to his broker first thing in the morning?
38453Do n''t you think radio is a broad enough subject to talk about for an entire afternoon?
38453Do n''t you want to throw us off the porch or any little thing like that?
38453Do you all want to die of indigestion? 38453 Do you know the letters of the station to be called?"
38453Do you mean to say you have n''t read about it?
38453Do you mean to say,he demanded,"that you''d take a solemn oath in court to tell the truth, and then go on the stand and swear to a downright lie?"
38453Do you need a doctor?
38453Do you really think tramps were responsible, Dad?
38453Do you remember how it worked?
38453Do you suppose it''s the old boy himself calling?
38453Do you suppose they''re putting up at the Mountain Rest Hotel, too?
38453Do you suppose you could draw me a rough sketch of the circuit?
38453Do you want to talk radio with us all tomorrow afternoon?
38453Does he live near here?
38453Does n''t he ever get cross and ugly?
38453Does that suit this board of directors? 38453 Get off me, will you, before I throw you off?"
38453Going to set some more houses on fire, eh?
38453Have you had enough?
38453Have you heard of the latest method of overcoming it?
38453He chasa you?
38453How about listening in a while?
38453How about taking me along, Dad?
38453How about yourselves?
38453How did he come to get away from you?
38453How do you get that way?
38453How in the world did they happen to get here just at this minute? 38453 I suppose none of you ever heard of such things before, did you?"
38453I suppose that unit in the center is the driving motor, is n''t it?
38453I suppose you and Joe and the others are sure you did n''t light a match for any purpose while you were there?
38453I suppose you have permission to use this plant?
38453I suppose you use a regenerative circuit, do n''t you?
38453I suppose you use a tickler coil in the plate circuit, do n''t you?
38453I wonder what has become of the other cars?
38453In what way?
38453Is some one sick?
38453Is that so?
38453Is that what you are trying to say, Jimmy?
38453Is that your bear?
38453Is there a government station at Mountain Pass?
38453Is there anything I can do for you?
38453It must be something very recent, is n''t it?
38453No damage done?
38453Not bad for an old fellow, eh?
38453Nothing slow about that, is there?
38453Now as for me----"Yes?
38453Now what''s the poor nut raving about?
38453Oh, were those yours?
38453Oh, what''s the use of worrying?
38453Quit parking on my toe, will you? 38453 Say, fellows, what''s the matter with our sending that message?"
38453Say, keep still, ca n''t you?
38453Say, what are you guys doing here?
38453Say, where do you get that stuff?
38453Say, who asked you to butt in?
38453Seems to me the question is what is the bear going to do?
38453So you''re in a hurry, too, are you?
38453Speaking of regenerative circuits, have you heard about Armstrong''s new invention?
38453Such as you took us for at first, eh?
38453That means that we''ll have to flash a little speed, does n''t it?
38453The question is what are we going to do?
38453The way we''ve got our set hooked up now, we''re using a loop antenna, are n''t we? 38453 Think you''ve put something over, do n''t you?"
38453This is a fine business, is n''t it?
38453This is the tuning apparatus, is n''t it?
38453Was he any worse than Cassey?
38453Well, what if you do?
38453Well, what is it?
38453Well, what''s the verdict?
38453What I tella you?
38453What are you running away for?
38453What business did you have on the roof of my house? 38453 What dat?"
38453What did he look like?
38453What do you Indians think you''re doing?
38453What do you mean by driving that car at such a rate of speed?
38453What do you mean, concert?
38453What do you mean?
38453What do you mean?
38453What do you suppose the powwow of the teachers was all about?
38453What do you think?
38453What does the government want of a wireless station away up here?
38453What grounds have you for making such a serious accusation?
38453What kind of gamblers are you, anyway, to wait until you have a sure thing before you test your luck? 38453 What made him chase us then?"
38453What makes you think we''d do a trick like that?
38453What will radio do next?
38453What''s that?
38453What''s the game?
38453Who said I hated''em?
38453Who''s said anything to Mrs. or Mr. Layton about our joining their party? 38453 Who''s that calling?"
38453Who''s up there and what are you doing?
38453Why ca n''t you send a message to that station and ask them to get hold of your father?
38453Why could n''t you let the rest of us get a glimpse of some honest- to- goodness sharpers?
38453Why do n''t you go over to the Salper''s house and tell the girls that?
38453Why not?
38453Will you ask the manager to hunt it up and lend it to us?
38453Will you send your message phone or code?
38453Would n''t it be great to be in charge of a station like that?
38453Would we?
38453Yes, but if you had a phonograph horn, could n''t you fix it up so that the music would be loud enough for us all to hear it?
38453You do n''t call that work, do you? 38453 You fellows do just love to work, do n''t you?"
38453You fellows would n''t be tickled to death either if you thought you were going to get a vacation, would you?
38453You mean to say that you made this set yourselves?
38453You mean to tell me you can operate that radio contraption?
38453You said the name of one of the men was Mohun?
38453You''ll want a receipt, wo n''t you, Robins?
38453You''re going to stay at the Mountain Rest Hotel, are n''t you, Bob?
38453You''re often called the''radio boys,''are n''t you?
38453A lawsuit, eh?
38453Are you ready, boys?"
38453But do you think we could swing it?
38453CHAPTER XIII PRESSED INTO SERVICE"Just what do you mean?"
38453Can it be that he is blind?"
38453Can you get my message through at once?"
38453Coming, Blackford?"
38453Do n''t you know that the big deals down on the Street that have been successful have been put through because the fellows doing it had nerve?"
38453Do n''t you know you''re supposed to rest after a meal and give your stomach a chance?"
38453Do you hear that?
38453Eighty hard, round iron men?"
38453Get that?"
38453Got''em right off the reel, did n''t you, boy?
38453How about it, fellows?"
38453How does that strike you?"
38453If you go will you take mother with you?"
38453It would be great, would n''t it, if we could get in touch with another planet?
38453Looker?"
38453May I ask where you are going?"
38453Rather a neat lay- out, do n''t you think?"
38453Salper?"
38453Salper?"
38453So what are you going to do about it?"
38453THE END_ This Is n''t All!_ Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book?
38453Well,"as the others nodded assent,"why not unwind the loop and string a double aerial on the roof?
38453What do you mean by it?"
38453What do you say?"
38453What will you sell it for?"
38453When are your folks going to start for Mountain Pass, Bob?"
38453Where is he staying?"
38453Who cares for the old confession as you call it?
38453Who knows that we slipped in later and sat there until nearly midnight smoking cigarettes?"
38453Why does n''t he run?
38453Why not let me take a hack at it for the rest of the way?"
38453Would you like to find out?"
38453Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author?
38453You do n''t see that trailing on the ground, do you?"
38453You said this man Mohun was urging haste?"
38453You see I was in such a hurry that I did n''t eat much of a breakfast----""What?"
38453You''ll do what?"
38453exclaimed Jimmy, at length,"I hate to break up the party, but do n''t you think it''s about time that we thought of getting back to the hotel?
38453exclaimed the former, with a gesture of delight,"does n''t it look simply beautiful?
38453he said gruffly, his tone adding plainly:"What are you doing here anyway?
38453what was that?"
25858''Where did you steal that rug from?'' 25858 A regular master criminal, Doughnuts?"
25858Ai n''t he noble?
25858And is your airplane equipped with radio?
25858And was it really controlled by radio?
25858And what was that?
25858Any other place you can think of where you''d like to beat me up?
25858Anything? 25858 Are n''t you fellows scared to go where Buck Looker is?"
25858Are you still hungry?
25858Are you trying to say that we put stones in our snowballs?
25858But how can a magnet increase the sensitivity of a vacuum tube?
25858But just what is it that you do?
25858But what can we do about it?
25858But what did it do, Bob?
25858But what on earth are you sure of?
25858But what shall we do for power?
25858But while you and I are doing that, Bob, why ca n''t Jimmy and Herb act as lookouts? 25858 Ca n''t we make a temporary repair?"
25858Ca n''t we, fellows?
25858Can you imagine the day ever coming when we''d actually want to sit down and listen to Herb''s line of humor?
25858Come across with another, Jimmy, will you?
25858Did n''t he say what the robbers looked like?
25858Did n''t they have some trouble in getting power enough for their sets?
25858Did n''t you know that he is the undisputed champion pie eater of the camp?
25858Did the station burn down?
25858Did you think you heard somethin''?
25858Do n''t you think we''d better look around a little bit, anyway?
25858Do you hear that, Joe?
25858Do you mean that we ca n''t go on?
25858Do you mean to say that an actual recognizable photograph has been sent through the air by radio? 25858 Do you really mean that?
25858Do you think you could manage another piece of pie? 25858 Do you want me to drop down of heart failure or something like that?"
25858Get a shock?
25858Great joke, is n''t it?
25858Has the camp caught fire, or do you just want to borrow some money from me?
25858Have I got to pull your nose to make you stand up to me?
25858Have n''t we already agreed that there''s no use crying over spilled milk? 25858 Have you managed to make anything of them?"
25858Have you read about that radio- controlled tank?
25858Hello, what''s wrong?
25858How about a steaming dish of beans in Boston?
25858How about it, Joe?
25858How about this afternoon after school down by the river?
25858How about you, young feller? 25858 How are you, boys?"
25858How did he gain his laurels?
25858How did you know?
25858How do I know that you did n''t break it? 25858 How do you ever do it?"
25858How do you feel, Jimmy?
25858How do you feel?
25858How do you get that way?
25858How do you know all this?
25858How does he know?
25858How many doughnuts have you left, Jimmy?
25858How much further have we to go?
25858How would you like to take a nice three- mile sprint now?
25858I suppose the two men you were expecting have n''t arrived yet, have they?
25858I suppose you had a pleasant time in Washington?
25858I suppose you''ll want to be in on it, too, Frank?
25858I wonder what they''re up to now, Carl?
25858If I''d wanted it for luck I would n''t have got a magnet, would I? 25858 If this trip actually works out, we''ll forgive you all last winter''s jokes, wo n''t we, fellows?"
25858In the United States Forest Service?
25858Is it about a tramp?
25858Is it some sort of joke?
25858Is n''t he the shrinking violet?
25858Is n''t it possible,suggested Herb,"that he''s employed as radio operator in the prison?
25858Is n''t there a telephone line from the camp?
25858Is the window insured?
25858It can be controlled by an airplane, too, ca n''t it?
25858It was lucky, was n''t it, that we happened along when we did?
25858Just what did you get down?
25858Now, are we all ready?
25858Now, stop rubbing it into a fellow, will you? 25858 Oh, well, what do we care?"
25858Or is there any?
25858See where the snow has splashed against it? 25858 So the villain managed to escape, did he?"
25858So you have got here at last, eh?
25858That''s a pretty big loss for your dad, is n''t it?
25858The one that was exhibited in Dayton, I mean?
25858The same kind of message?
25858Then what''ll we do?
25858Think?
25858Trying to start a Fourth of July celebration, or something?
25858Want to revise that statement of yours that you were n''t downtown at all last night?
25858Was anything taken?
25858Was n''t he the fellow who had charge of the Mud Creek ranger station at Montana?
25858Well, what do you think?
25858Well, what''s the big idea?
25858Well, why does n''t this blind man get himself a set?
25858Were the fellows who held up your father''s truck masked?
25858Were you fellows laughing at me?
25858Wh- what happened?
25858What are they up to, Bob?
25858What are you doing here?
25858What can he do?
25858What did I tell you?
25858What did it look like?
25858What difference does that make?
25858What do you know about that?
25858What do you mean by that?
25858What do you mean by that?
25858What do you mean by that?
25858What do you mean?
25858What do you mean?
25858What do you think of that, fellows? 25858 What do you think of this, fellows?"
25858What do you want it for?
25858What does that stand for, Bob?
25858What happened? 25858 What has breakfast got to do with it?"
25858What is your dad going to do about it?
25858What will you ever do until lunch time, I wonder?
25858What would you do?
25858What you thinking about, Bob?
25858What''s become of my piece of ice?
25858What''s it all about?
25858What''s that, Doughnuts?
25858What''s that?
25858What''s the matter, Blackie?
25858What''s the matter?
25858What''s up?
25858What?
25858Where are the police?
25858Where do you get that stuff, anyway?
25858Who all''s in this party anyway? 25858 Who broke a window?"
25858Who did it?
25858Who says so?
25858Who wants to be like a tramp?
25858Who was that other fellow or fellows then? 25858 Who''s afraid of getting lost?"
25858Why could n''t you?
25858Why does n''t he accept one?
25858Why does n''t he rub it in?
25858Why not settle it right now?
25858Why talk about such things when we''re such a long way from them? 25858 Will that really do the trick?"
25858Wo n''t you tell us more about your experiences?
25858Wo n''t you tell us something about what you do?
25858You could n''t?
25858You did n''t see anything, did you, Bob?
25858You do n''t expect me to blow a whistle under the circumstances, do you?
25858You have pretty nearly all the latest appliances, have n''t you? 25858 You mean,"said Herb slowly,"that most of the blind folks who really need radio more than anybody else ca n''t afford it?
25858An''now will yez put them things in my ears?
25858Are we all here?"
25858Are you able to tackle it?"
25858Are you going to stand for that?"
25858Are you sure it was n''t something else that smashed the glass?"
25858Be yourself, ca n''t you?"
25858But I do n''t imagine he or his friends will bother us any more to- day, so why not have lunch?"
25858But now what are your plans for capturing the crooks?"
25858Did you both fall asleep in the middle of it?"
25858Do you remember how he told us that he''d lie in court to keep us from putting anything over on him?
25858Have you noticed that?"
25858He laughed and added lightly:"But who am I to assume the rôle of prophet?
25858How about you, Lutz?"
25858How do you account for that?"
25858How does that strike you?"
25858I suppose there''s no need of asking if you fellows would like to come with me?"
25858Is that clear?"
25858Now what do you say we listen in on the concert for a little while?"
25858Perhaps you''d like me to tell you their names?"
25858Say, that does n''t seem fair, does it?"
25858Say,"he added fervently,"are n''t you glad you were n''t born a hundred years ago?"
25858Trust your Uncle Jimmy----""For the love of butter, what are you raving about?"
25858W.?"
25858What do you make of it, Bob?"
25858What does that mean?"
25858What have you been doing with yourselves since we last met?"
25858What mattered it to Jimmy that the floor was none too clean?
25858What then?"
25858What was Cassey doing over the radio?
25858What''s the answer to that?"
25858When do we start installing this set in the McNulty mansion, boys?"
25858Why do you suppose we stayed here when it would have been perfectly easy for us to get away?
25858Would he take it, or would the contest prove to be a draw?
25858You do n''t think Cassey''s going to let us off that easy, do you?"
25858You remember Larry?"
25858are you going to tell the police?"
25858he exclaimed, as sudden excitement gripped him,"do you remember those nights we were listening to our big set and we heard the mysterious messages?
7899Am I an angel, Doughnuts, or not? 7899 And apple pie at that?
7899Anybody coming my way?
7899Are they keeping you pretty busy these days?
7899Are you with me?
7899Aunty Bixby is a nice old lady, and as for Joel Banks--"Say, is n''t he a dandy?
7899But I suppose that location is n''t very exact, is it?
7899But how do you mean to connect up all those tabs on the plates?
7899But it''s a pretty complicated thing when you first tackle it, is n''t it?
7899But say, what''s happened to you? 7899 But we''ll have to raise the panel up an inch or two so as to give room underneath for wires and connections, sha n''t we?"
7899But what I want to know is, is that tuning coil wound yet? 7899 But what makes you think this man I''m looking for is the same one you''re after?"
7899Cassey? 7899 Clubhouse?"
7899Cut out the rough stuff, ca n''t you, fellows?
7899Cut the electric light cord, you mean?
7899Did you ever hear of Marconi?
7899Did you?
7899Did your father know anything about what kind of fellow he was?
7899Do n''t you know that if there''s a small piece it''s up to the host to take it?
7899Do n''t you know the doctor''s going to give you a feast of reason?
7899Do you happen to have my mortgage with you?
7899Do you know anything about him?
7899Do you mean that somebody''s trying to cheat you out of your property?
7899Do you mean to say that I have n''t any brains?
7899Do you mean to say that he could get away with a thing as raw as that?
7899Do you suppose there''ll be any eats?
7899Does it cost very much, Doctor?
7899Does it take three of you to do it?
7899Does it work, fellows? 7899 Ever hear of any one by that name?"
7899Gag him, some one, ca n''t you?
7899Gee, did you just find that out?
7899Going up to Dr. Dale''s house to- night?
7899Gosh, did you hear what he said?
7899Has he been here long?
7899Have you been trying to deceive a government officer?
7899Have you got any more when that''s gone, Doughnuts?
7899Have you taken a look at it yet, Bob?
7899He did, did he?
7899He stutters badly, and then has to whistle before he can go on, does n''t he?
7899He''s a brick, is n''t he?
7899Hey, Bob, want to hear a good joke?
7899Hit you hard, did it?
7899How about a flow of soul?
7899How about a little dance music now?
7899How about little Dick Winters and his sister?
7899How about throwing him in just for luck, fellows?
7899How about you, Herb?
7899How about you, Joe?
7899How about you, Joe?
7899How big do they want to be?
7899How can she listen to radio then, if she''s deaf?
7899How do you expect me to work if I do n''t have anything to keep my strength up?
7899How have you been since I saw you? 7899 How in the world do you locate an unauthorized station, anyway?"
7899How many does the book say we''ll need, Herb?
7899I did n''t say it was great, did I?
7899I do n''t think that''s asking very much, do you, fellows?
7899I missed it, then, did n''t I?
7899I never said we were cripples, did I?
7899I suppose you think that''s real smart, do n''t you?
7899I was just thinking how awfully slow things must be for the poor shut- ins--"What?
7899I''ll bet you never thought you''d hear anything over our home- made set, now did you?
7899I''m sure we would n''t be so foolish, would we, fellows?
7899If you win that prize, Jimmy, I get half, do n''t I?
7899If you''re an angel, Bob, I hope to die a horrible death from slow starvation, and I ca n''t say any more than that, can I?
7899Is n''t it a wonder?
7899Is n''t that grand?
7899Is the place on fire, or what?
7899Is there any one like that in town?
7899It may be late, but it''s never too late for that, is it?
7899It must be hard to locate them, is n''t it?
7899It wo n''t take long to finish it now, do you think?
7899It''s just the same as milk, is n''t it?
7899Know anybody about here by the name of Cassey?
7899Meaning that I''m not, I suppose?
7899Not amateurs?
7899Now what''s the matter?
7899Now, what all do you need?
7899Oh, who asked you to put in your two cents''worth, you old croaker?
7899Pretty good for beginners, is n''t it, Brandon?
7899Reckoning on giving me a treat, are you, boys?
7899S- s- s- shut up, w- w- will you?
7899Say, cut out the comedy, will you, Herb?
7899Say, fellows,was his salutation,"did any of you read in the morning papers of the big Radio Show that is opening up in New York City?"
7899Say, how do you get that way?
7899Say, what are you trying to do? 7899 Shall we get the tuning coil started?"
7899So soon?
7899So the set works well, does it?
7899Sounds as if it were in the next room, does n''t it?
7899That does n''t look as bad as it might, does it?
7899The prizes are to be given out pretty soon, are n''t they?
7899Then he did n''t come back?
7899Then you do n''t think you want a box?
7899W- what about it?
7899W- what can I do f- f- for you?
7899W- why do you want to see me?
7899Was anything else stolen?
7899Was she pretty, Joe?
7899We have n''t got to make much more now, have we?
7899Well, say,cried Joe, who was ever a boy of action,"what''s the matter with our getting busy on this right away?
7899Well, what-- what-- when did you see him to fight with him?
7899Well,he demanded,"what have you got to say to that?
7899What are we going to make the mast out of?
7899What are you butting in for?
7899What are you doing up there?
7899What are you fellows chinning about?
7899What are you two bloated plutocrats thinking of?
7899What did he say?
7899What did you say the fellow''s name was?
7899What do you say to listening in on Pittsburg? 7899 What does he mean, Bob?
7899What good would it have done him if he had got the aerial down? 7899 What in the world do you mean?"
7899What was he sore about?
7899What was it all about?
7899What was it?
7899What''s the big idea?
7899What''s the joke, Buck?
7899What''s the matter here?
7899What''s the matter with asking Aunty Bixby?
7899What''s the matter, Doughnuts?
7899What''s the next thing on the program?
7899What''s up with Buck and his gang? 7899 When are you going to have that wax cooked good and tender, Bob?"
7899Where do we want the holes, Bob?
7899Where does he live?
7899Where''s the rest of the bunch?
7899Where''s your drill, Herb?
7899Where?
7899Who do we know that we can invite?
7899Who said I was joking?
7899Who said anything about us?
7899Who said we expected you to work?
7899Who''s she?
7899Why did n''t the doctor wait just five minutes more?
7899Why do n''t you keep right on sawing until you get through? 7899 Why do n''t you start in and make a try for it, anyway?"
7899Why do you ask that question?
7899Why would n''t Doughnuts eat the pie after we''d gone home?
7899Why, what have you fellows been doing, anyway?
7899Will you promise not to hit me if I get up?
7899With whom?
7899Wo n''t that be the greatest thing that ever happened? 7899 Yes, but if that''s so, why should they steal my set instead of yours or Joe''s?"
7899You coming too, Buckley?
7899You do?
7899You go up and let them in, will you, Doughnuts?
7899You say you told him that we had our aerial up?
7899You''re a stranger to this town, are n''t you?
7899You''re foolish enough for anything else, so why not that?
7899You''re going, are n''t you? 7899 You''re in it with the rest of us too, are n''t you?"
7899Am I right or ai n''t I?"
7899And how is she going to do it?"
7899And where is the boy who does not dread being laughed at more than anything else in the world?
7899Are you fellows ready to start now?"
7899As you''re both interested in finding him, too, why not go with me and help me?
7899At your house?"
7899CHAPTER III WONDERS OF WIRELESS"How are you, boys?"
7899CHAPTER X A STEALTHY RASCAL"Did you really say pie, Bob?"
7899Cassey?"
7899Cassey?"
7899Cassey?"
7899Coming, Herb?"
7899Does the man stutter, do you know?"
7899Has anybody heard what he''s up to now?"
7899Has anything turned up to tell you where he is and what he is doing?"
7899Have you tried it on him?"
7899How about it, boys?"
7899How about it?
7899How about it?"
7899How about the work we did in helping to put out the fire?"
7899How are we going to get hold of some of that?"
7899How big shall I make them?"
7899How could he know that the old gentleman was having the time of his life?
7899How much do you suppose you''ll need to get started?"
7899How would it be if I dropped around some time during the evening, and brought him with me?"
7899How''s the wireless coming on?"
7899I''m sure we''d never want to go near a place like that, would we, Joe?"
7899Is it a go?"
7899Let''s go and see Doctor Dale--""What''s your big rush?"
7899Make a fool of me?"
7899May I come in?"
7899Or was it all only a beautiful dream?"
7899Perhaps you''ve heard of him?"
7899Reddy?"
7899Something connected with radio, I suppose?"
7899THE PRIZE THE RADIO BOYS''FIRST WIRELESS CHAPTER I THE AUTO CRASH"How about it, Joe?"
7899That makes-- Gee, how many is it?"
7899Then to Bob:"Do you think we can wind the wire on now, Bob?"
7899Want to try it?
7899What could be more interesting?
7899What do you mean by climbing up on my barn and trying to wreck my aerial?"
7899What do you say if we knock off now and do some more work this evening after supper?"
7899What do you say, fellows, to taking it in?
7899What do you suppose he meant, anyway?"
7899What do you think?"
7899What shall we do first?"
7899What''s the best way to get up on the roof, Bob?"
7899Where is this wonderful thing to be?"
7899Where would we give this entertainment, Bob?
7899Who is the rascal that you think is trying to cheat you out of your property?"
7899Who''s next on the list?"
7899Why did n''t you wake me sooner?"
7899Will you boys join me?"
7899Would they join him?
7899he exclaimed,"do you remember what Herb told us about the man named Dan Cassey?"
7899he exclaimed,"you fellows certainly do like chocolate, though, do n''t you?"
7899is it lunch time already?"
19351A mystery?
19351All right,smiled Curlie,"I agree with you, absolutely, but what did they do then?"
19351And do you know that I could crush you with my influence?
19351And is he what you would call a daring chap, ready to attempt anything?
19351And may I ask,the magnate''s face was a mask, not a muscle moved,"how you happened to be in possession of these messages?"
19351And then the car was wrecked?
19351And you wish my permission for what?
19351And-- and--she said in a faltering voice--"do you think Vincent is paying for what he did?"
19351Anyone here by the name of Carson?
19351Anything come in?
19351Are you going to send that S. O. S. or am I?
19351Are you the man?
19351Asleep? 19351 Believed?"
19351But supposing,he rose from his chair in his excitement,"supposing they do n''t find the island exactly where they expect to find it?
19351But the water?
19351But what do you make out of all that babble about airplane, map, ship and much gold? 19351 But"--he suddenly began to sway dizzily--"but where are we?"
19351By the way,he said in a casual way,"does your brother happen to have a pal living at Landensport on the coast?"
19351By the way,he said turning to Vincent,"do you chance to have the original of that old map with you?"
19351By the way,said Joe,"where is Gladys Ardmore?
19351Careful?
19351Do you think so?
19351Eh? 19351 Eh?
19351Everything all right?
19351Fa-- father,she faltered, gripping at her throat,"does he know-- know anything-- about-- about Vincent?"
19351Find anything?
19351For what purpose?
19351Get anything?
19351Get the distance?
19351Gladys,he addressed the girl,"did you say you found some sort of map in Vincent''s room?"
19351Going back up?
19351Have any of these maps been photographed recently?
19351Hello,he cried,"you out here?"
19351How about trying another message?
19351How illegal?
19351How?
19351I might tell all that and I might get the reward, but supposing something really had happened? 19351 If worst comes to worst we''ve got the wireless, have n''t we?
19351Is n''t it wonderful?
19351Is n''t it wonderful?
19351Is n''t it wonderful?
19351Is that an airplane which flies up from the ocean and lights upon it when one wishes it to?
19351King, lion or millionaire?
19351Know where I can get one?
19351Listening in?
19351Meet which?
19351Millionaire''s son murdered? 19351 Murdered?"
19351My sister,there was a strange smile on his lips,"says you set out on this trip for the purpose of having me arrested?"
19351Nerves?
19351Not your fault?
19351Oh, is it?
19351Oh, will you?
19351Pardon me,said Curlie,"but did you get Mr. Ardmore''s wire?"
19351Reliable?
19351Sent by my missing son?
19351Shall we go back?
19351Six hundred? 19351 Smashed him up right?
19351Suppose you did n''t plan this trip?
19351Supposin''we get there, what then?
19351Supposing they do not find the island?
19351Tell me this: Did your brother have the original of that old map?
19351Tell you what,he said after a moment''s thought,"just get that cashed for me, will you?
19351Tell-- tell what?
19351That you, 2231? 19351 The Newtonian?"
19351Then you wo n''t have to arrest him if he''s already punished?
19351These messages you say were unfair?
19351Think we could run away from the storm?
19351Two boys--He got that much, but what was that?
19351Up here?
19351Was that the son or the daughter? 19351 Was the plane equipped with wireless?"
19351Well, now,he whispered softly to himself,"what do you know about that?
19351Well, what of it?
19351Well?
19351Wha-- what happened?
19351What can?
19351What could it be then?
19351What did he say?
19351What did you do about it?
19351What do you think,asked Curlie suddenly,"has he got an automobile or an airplane?"
19351What does one make out of that? 19351 What else can we do but keep looking?"
19351What is your theory?
19351What kind of voice?
19351What makes you so sure the island on that map is mythical?
19351What millionaire''s son? 19351 What was that?"
19351What was there to do? 19351 What''d you come down for?"
19351What''s the answer then?
19351What?
19351When, oh, when,sighed Curlie,"will people become used to this new thing, the radiophone?
19351Where''d it come from?
19351Where-- where--she hesitated,"is your station?"
19351Where?
19351Why do n''t they catch him?
19351Why should n''t I?
19351Why, yes, he is; but-- but how do you know so many things?
19351Why, yes,she smiled,"did n''t you expect me?
19351Will you run and get those photographs?
19351Wot course?
19351Would I?
19351Yes, but,hesitated Joe,"how the deuce you going to pack a radiophone outfit, all those coils, batteries and boxes, when you''re shipwrecked?
19351Yes, how did you know so much?
19351Yes, is n''t that what you do? 19351 Yes, she''s a beauty, and a go- getter,"Curlie was thinking to himself,"but in a storm, now, four or five hundred miles from land, what then?"
19351You a cook?
19351You did n''t expect to have me for a fellow- passenger, did you?
19351You got nerves?
19351You got the fever or something?
19351You have arranged to go?
19351You''re this wireless man, Curlie Carson?
19351You-- you''re coming to see me when you get home? 19351 Young man,"he said slowly,"do you know who I am?"
19351Young man,said the magnate, turning to Curlie,"may I command your services on this matter for the day?"
19351A moment later he tuned an instrument and threw on a switch;"Weightman there?"
19351A radiophone on wheels?
19351Alfred muttered something like,"Think I''m a fool?"
19351And the skipper?
19351And we''ll see if it is a boy or the girl?"
19351And who would not?
19351But what was this they were saying?
19351But what was this?
19351But why get them out at this time?"
19351By the way,"he exclaimed suddenly,"do you know about this new Packard- Prentiss equipment?"
19351CHAPTER XIII A GHOST WALKS"Ever take much interest in gasoline engines?"
19351Can I take Joe along?"
19351Can it be Vincent Ardmore?
19351Carson?"
19351Did a bullet from my automatic, glancing from the wheel, inflict a mortal wound?"
19351Did you get that?
19351Did young Ardmore have the ancient original of that interesting map or only the photograph?
19351Do you think I did wrong?"
19351Do you think I''d sneak out of it because anyone would let me-- because I am a girl?"
19351Do you think a rich man''s daughter can do nothing but play tennis and pour tea?
19351Do you understand that?"
19351Ever meet one?"
19351Get him, ca n''t you?"
19351Give him another chance?
19351Go down to what?
19351Had he not at one time received the highest of commendations from the great chief of this secret service of the air?
19351Had he not at times detected meddlers who were endangering the lives of men upon the high seas?
19351Had he seen some movement at the window to the right of the wires that led to the aerials?
19351Had he, after all, trusted too much to theory?
19351Had it been dampened and short- circuited?
19351Had these two sons of rich men really only gone for some picnic trip to a well- known island farther south along the coast?
19351He had lost thus far; would he lose in the end?
19351He twisted a knob there, then:"That you, Mulligan?"
19351Hello, Curlie, you there?"
19351How about that?"
19351How did she know?
19351How was he to discover the owner of that mysterious moving radio?
19351How was he to locate that powerful secret station in the hotel?
19351How you going to keep''em dry with the rain pelting you from above and the salt water beating at you from below?
19351If he did not have it, who was in possession of it?
19351If this storm meant grave dangers to them, what must it mean to two boys in a seaplane skimming through the air over the sea?
19351Instantly the question popped into his mind:"Does she know more than she cares to tell?"
19351Listen in on radio all the time?"
19351Location?
19351May I see the copies?"
19351May we count on you?"
19351Mind if I take an extra hour?"
19351No license?
19351Now if he keeps it up, how am I to catch him?"
19351Now will you come?
19351Old Humming Bird,"he exclaimed as he patted his car,"did she mean that smile for you or for me?
19351Or was this merely a warning dash which had reached them far in advance of the deluge?
19351Poking his head into the wheel- house, he bellowed above the storm:"How''s she go?"
19351Question is, do I want to risk it?
19351Question is: Which one is it-- hotel station or the one that moves?"
19351Sends on 1200, does n''t he?"
19351Should he tell her?
19351Sick, lost, shipwrecked?
19351So he has n''t got him yet?
19351So he''s going north?
19351So there might be a girl in the case, same as there seems to be in that one over at the hotel?
19351Terrible, was n''t it?"
19351That you, Curlie?"
19351The girl, too; what had she meant when she said she was in some ways responsible for her brother''s actions?
19351Then out loud:"Joe, what would a fellow do with ten thousand dollars?"
19351Then she said slowly, through set, white lips:"You would n''t do that?"
19351Then, turning to her, Curlie asked:"Has this friend of your brother''s-- Brightwood, did you say his name was?--has he a seaplane?"
19351Then,"Are you there?
19351Was he still at the wheel?
19351Was he to be ushered at once into the august presence of the magnate?
19351Was it an answer?
19351Was she merely a tool of the man behind the powerful radio machine?
19351Was she simply leading him on?
19351Was the storm upon them?
19351Was the water getting at the engines?
19351We can light on the water and send out an S. O. S., ca n''t we?
19351Were they already lost?
19351What if she sent those messages and I found her out?
19351What should be his next move?
19351What wave length do you use?
19351What''s that?
19351What''s that?"
19351What''s the use?"
19351What?"
19351What?"
19351When will they develop a conscience which will compel them to consider those rights?"
19351When will they learn that it is a great, new servant of mankind and not a toy?
19351When will they take time to instruct themselves regarding the rights of others?
19351When?"
19351Where to?
19351Who could tell?
19351Who had taken the wireless equipment from the wrecked car out there by the Forest Preserve?
19351Who had that someone been?
19351Who knows?
19351Why did n''t I think of that before?
19351Why did you do it?
19351Why had she whispered those messages to him?
19351Why not around here?"
19351Will you?"
19351Wo n''t you?"
19351Wonder why?"
19351Would it be asking too much were I to request that you accompany her?"
19351Would it last until the storm had passed, or would they be obliged to volplane down into that seething tempest?
19351Would it refuse to go?
19351Yes, where were they?
19351You remember that big bad man, the one who used heaps of power on 1200?
19351You-- you do n''t think anything could happen to them, do you?"
19351he exclaimed suddenly,"what was I doing when things went to pieces?"
19351he mused;"how about that girl?
19351where have you been?"
27455''What''s the matter, Conductor?'' 27455 And speaking of radio, who do you think called me up last night?
27455And the idea was, that you''d go down there and blow the crowd to hot doughnuts, was it?
27455And wo n''t it be a happy day when I can throw it into the discard? 27455 Are you a shark too, Larry?"
27455Are you fellows going my way?
27455Are you sure?
27455Aw, what''s the use of standing on an old station platform for an hour and spending your time wondering why the train does n''t show up?
27455But I suppose we ca n''t land on him until he gets entirely well, can we, Joe?
27455But I suppose you found it quite a long trip, did n''t you?
27455But how are we going to get him to the hotel, Bob? 27455 But how are you going to travel back alone?"
27455But how do you know what to do with them?
27455But now that we''re fed up and feeling strong, how would you like to practice sending for awhile? 27455 But now, how would you all like to go in and hear the rest of the concert?
27455But we''ll have plenty of fun, too, so why mind a little hard work?
27455But what does it say in that letter that you''re waving around, anyway?
27455But what is a poor fellow to do?
27455But where are you Indians taking me to, anyway?
27455But where do you get all the money to buy that stuff?
27455Can you all get around this evening and listen to some radio? 27455 Can you beat it?"
27455Can you do anything in the way of a song or a recitation?
27455Could you hear me plainly last evening?
27455Did I do it all right?
27455Did you ever hear any more from Buck?
27455Did you ever know him to do a decent thing?
27455Did you get that?
27455Did you hear it the same as I did, Herb?
27455Did you notice that there was n''t a word of apology for having made a false charge against you?
27455Did you try to stop them?
27455Do n''t forget me, though, will you?
27455Do you expect to be able to hear Detroit?
27455Do you feel well enough to go after a soft job next Saturday?
27455Do you find the grub as good as we told you it would be?
27455Do you know where she lives, Tim? 27455 Do you notice how everybody steers clear of them?
27455Do you think the sun has affected his brain?
27455Do you think you can fill in this evening? 27455 Has he got entirely over his experience of last summer, when Dan Cassey knocked him out and stole his money?"
27455Has there been a big fire? 27455 Have you heard how he is getting along lately, Larry?"
27455Hear of it?
27455How about it, Doughnuts?
27455How about it, fellows?
27455How about that hundred and fifty dollars we won between us in prizes?
27455How about the mocking bird?
27455How are you getting along with that regenerative set?
27455How did it seem to be performing for the benefit of about half a million people at one time?
27455How did you come to land two customers so quickly?
27455How did you happen to hear of it?
27455How do you feel to- day?
27455How do you feel, Larry? 27455 How do you feel?"
27455How do you fellows come to rate an automobile?
27455How do you know which one to turn and which one to leave alone?
27455How do you like being with a regular show?
27455How does he know that both of us wo n''t get rattled right in the middle of the thing and ball up the whole programme?
27455How does it seem to perform for the benefit of a telephone transmitter instead of an audience?
27455How is your cousin, Mr. Harvey, getting along?
27455How would this do?
27455How''s that for a crackerjack joke?
27455How''s the boy? 27455 I did n''t say that, did I?"
27455I do n''t know that you''re very famous for bright ideas, Jimmy, so where do you get off to criticize?
27455I do n''t seem to be fading away under the strain, though, do I?
27455I guess he was satisfied, though, was n''t he?
27455I guess there''s no law against eating chocolate, is there?
27455I guess you''ll be plenty strong enough to start in at steady work at the broadcasting station next week, wo n''t you?
27455I suppose he was glad to see you?
27455I suppose we all get free passes, do n''t we?
27455I suppose you think you''re a regular Solomon, do n''t you?
27455I''ll bet you never thought much of it when we first started to build an amateur set, now did you, Dad?
27455I''ll bet you traveled faster with that stick of yours than you ever thought you could, did n''t you?
27455If you can get away with it, why not pick up a few dollars?
27455Is n''t this a peach of a ride?
27455Is that so?
27455Jolliest kind of fellows, are n''t they?
27455Nobody asked you to sing, did they?
27455Nobody threw anything at you when you were acting in a regular theater, did he?
27455Now, as we''re agreed as to that, can I call on you for advice and assistance?
27455Oh, well, if you do n''t like my jokes, why do n''t you think up some of your own?
27455Oh, well, what''s the use of talking about it?
27455Oh, what do you know about it?
27455Probably a trifle nervous?
27455Serious?
27455Shall I tell it to you?
27455Some of it must be pretty expensive, is n''t it?
27455Somebody we all know?
27455That was quite a little cash, was n''t it?
27455That would be heaven on earth, would n''t it?
27455The trouble is-- can we trust you not to eat them all on the way back?
27455They do n''t usually delight anybody, do they?
27455Travels pretty fast, does n''t it?
27455Was that fast enough to please you?
27455We might be able to get the wireless telegraph signals from the other side, though, do n''t you think?
27455We''ll all drop in some evening around the first of the week, sha n''t we, fellows?
27455Well, how did you like that?
27455Well, then,said Herb:"Why does the tennis ball?
27455Well, what''s the matter?
27455Were they?
27455Wh- what did he say?
27455What are you going to do about it?
27455What becomes of this electrical impulse after it gets started on that quick trip?
27455What do you mean,''old cripple''?
27455What do you say if we stop at the hospital to- morrow afternoon, fellows, and tell Larry about it and find out if he''ll be strong enough to go?
27455What do you think I am, anyway?
27455What do you think, fellows?
27455What good wind blew you over here?
27455What happened, Herb?
27455What happened?
27455What has lightning done that it ought to be arrested?
27455What is the idea of having no windows?
27455What is this bright idea?
27455What makes you so sure?
27455What news?
27455What next?
27455What shall it be first?
27455What were you telling them about selling our sets, just as we came in?
27455What''s that?
27455What''s the joke, Jimmy?
27455What''s the matter, Larry?
27455What''s the use of working so hard over one, when you can buy them all made up? 27455 What''s your opinion?"
27455When you begin to get your pay checks, we''ll expect you to hire the taxicabs, sha n''t we, fellows?
27455Where did you hear about it, Jimmy?
27455Where did you learn it, then?
27455Where''s all the rest of your crowd this evening?
27455Where''s he been keeping himself lately?
27455Which railroad?
27455Which way did they go? 27455 Who is Larry?"
27455Who knows?
27455Who was it?
27455Who would have imagined this morning that you would be on the broadcasting programme this evening?
27455Who''s game to do it?
27455Who''s going to buy them?
27455Who''s talking of selling our sets?
27455Who-- who the mischief did that?
27455Whoever told you fellows that you were judges of humor, anyway?
27455Whose address?
27455Why did n''t you get some more while you were about it, Doughnuts?
27455Why do n''t you keep it, and give it to somebody else, Herb?
27455Why in the name of all that''s good do n''t you laugh? 27455 Why would n''t that be just the thing for Larry when he gets a little better?
27455Why, have n''t you ever noticed what a light appetite he has?
27455Wo n''t Jimmy and Herb be knocked silly when they hear our voices this evening? 27455 You did?"
27455You do n''t expect to have to leave Clintonia soon, do you?
27455You do n''t suppose anybody would pay real money to hear that low brand of humor, do you?
27455You hate yourselves, do n''t you?
27455You must be going in pretty deep, are n''t you?
27455You wo n''t be a bit worse off than we were, will he, fellows?
27455You''re certainly going into it pretty heavily this time, are n''t you? 27455 You''re sure you do n''t mean feet instead of miles?"
27455''Say, Conductor, why in blazes have we stopped again?''
27455And among them what do you think I saw?"
27455Are you building any sets at present?"
27455Are you still as interested in radio as ever?"
27455As they emerged from the terminal into the street at their final destination, Joe asked:"But how are we going to find this place, Larry?
27455But do n''t forget to give him my congratulations on his success, will you?"
27455By the way, when will he be well enough for us to take him to the broadcasting station?"
27455CHAPTER XIII FULL OF PROMISE"What do you mean''good job''?"
27455Count''em up, Herb, will you, and see how many there are?
27455Did n''t you bring him back with you?"
27455Did you get my letter all right?"
27455Do n''t you ever think of anything serious?"
27455Do n''t you think so yourself?"
27455Do you keep your money in there, or what?"
27455Do you know the way?"
27455Does that meet with your approval, Jimmy?"
27455Has he any relatives that should be notified of the accident?"
27455Have they told you about that?"
27455Have you got that through your noddle?"
27455He was right, was n''t he?"
27455How about it, Bob?"
27455How about it, old pal?"
27455How can anybody hope to make any speed with one of these things?"
27455How did we ever come to forget that?"
27455How did your young friend make out?
27455How do you suppose he ever got on the programme?"
27455How does that strike you?"
27455How have you been?"
27455How is it coming along?
27455How''s the wireless coming along these days?"
27455I suppose that they send in whatever language the people speak where the sending station is located, do n''t they?"
27455If he enjoys kidding himself that way, why should we wake him up?"
27455Is n''t it, Bob?
27455It is n''t much of a walk from the station, but it''s too far for Larry just yet, is n''t it?"
27455It looks as though we''d be better off every way, does n''t it?"
27455It must be pretty near time for the first number now, is n''t it?"
27455Kind of mixed up, is n''t it?"
27455Maybe you''ll be nice enough to explain things to them to- morrow, Jimmy?"
27455Now, how about you, Mr. Layton?
27455Or did some one die and leave you a million dollars?"
27455Sounds simple, does n''t it?"
27455Strong for anything?"
27455Suppose we each take a different street, and work down to the station, keeping our eyes open as we go along?
27455THE END This Is n''t All Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book?
27455That was fine, was n''t it?"
27455That was some offer, was n''t it?"
27455That''s perfectly fair, is n''t it?"
27455Was n''t that a peach of a joke?"
27455What are all those dials and knobs for?
27455What do you think?"
27455What happened?''
27455What is impossible to radio?"
27455What is your honest opinion on the subject?"
27455What is your specialty, Layton?"
27455What''s the trouble?"
27455What''s your specialty?"
27455When I say''I see there was a big athletic event at the Mercury Athletic Club last night,''you say''is that so?
27455Who''s coming my way?"
27455Who''s game to send?
27455Why did n''t you tell us some of the good ones for a change?"
27455Why do n''t you try something else?"
27455Why not?
27455Why was n''t I born rich instead of good looking?"
27455Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author?
27455You''ll board there, I suppose, wo n''t you?"
27455exclaimed Agnes,"are we really there so soon?
27455exclaimed Bob, suddenly,"have any of you Indians happened to think what next Monday is?"
27455exclaimed Jimmy one evening, tumbling down the cellar stairs three steps at a time,"have you heard the news?"
27455it will be great to see them on the stage, wo n''t it?"
27455what kept you so late?"
27455yelled Joe, trying to make himself heard above the roar of the motor and the whistling of the wind,"are n''t we making time, though?
28735A peg- legged man?
28735A secret passage?
28735Afire?
28735All clear there, Tom?
28735And do you believe,interrupted Frank,"that this man who has bought the old Brownell place may be that central figure?"
28735And he would not run the risk of discovery and capture without some very good cause?
28735And where does Higginbotham figure in this matter, anyhow? 28735 And who is this man who bought it?"
28735And you have n''t heard from any of your fleet that our boat was recovered?
28735Are n''t the profits so large that somebody else with money, some other organizing genius as you say, will take up the work?
28735Are you Lieutenant Summers, sir?
28735Barnum, how many matches have you?
28735But a room without windows?
28735But about matches? 28735 But do you think it''s safe for you to make the trip alone?
28735But how about leaving these chaps behind, Jack?
28735But how about my going to the beach to meet Lieutenant Summers?
28735But how in the world do you know?
28735But what can we do? 28735 But what do you imagine happened to him?"
28735But what''s your proposal?
28735But why in the world should such a move have been carried out?
28735But why should such a man engage in liquor smuggling?
28735But, in the second place,he added, leaning forward and uncrossing his legs;"what good would that do?
28735By the way, Captain,interposed Frank,"keep us posted, will you, on how this affair turns out?
28735Ca n''t we keep''em back here?
28735Calling for us, Sis?
28735Can I help you?
28735Can you make it all right on that bum leg, Bob?
28735Captain Folsom,he said,"is n''t it pretty certain such a move would not be carried out except by a man high in the councils of the smugglers?"
28735Captain, who is this man?
28735Chivalrous? 28735 Did I follow?
28735Did he arrive in a boat?
28735Did n''t what?
28735Did you say Captain Folsom?
28735Do you fellows consider the plane was forced to land? 28735 Do you know what I think?"
28735Do you know where his office is located?
28735Do you want to know what I think? 28735 Fellers on the roof?"
28735First of all, how far is it to Starfish Cove?
28735Frank?
28735Fretting for more adventure, are you?
28735From our station?
28735Got them?
28735Has Uncle George come home yet?
28735Here, Mike, wot d''ye mean, comin''in like this? 28735 Here, where are your hands?"
28735Hey, Frank,called Bob, interrupting their aside;"see how this strikes you?
28735How about it, Bob? 28735 How in the world did he get here?"
28735How much money you got, old thing?
28735How should we know?
28735How so?
28735How, then, does it happen the air is fresh?
28735I wonder----"What?
28735In that case,he asked,"what would be the necessity for this radio- driven airplane?
28735Is Captain Folsom there? 28735 Is all this liquor?"
28735Is she good looking, Della?
28735Is that so?
28735Is that so?
28735Is there any other place where small boats might land conveniently, any other place reasonably near?
28735It would n''t do, of course, to make a raid and capture the plane and their radio plant?
28735Jack?
28735Let me have the glasses a minute, Bob, will you?
28735Let''s consider what to do now? 28735 Now will ye believe me?"
28735Now will you tell?
28735Now, what''s this all about?
28735Oh, I was just wondering why the job was left uncompleted? 28735 Oh, is that you down there?"
28735Or shall we muss him up a bit?
28735See us? 28735 Seeing spooks again?"
28735Shall I tell?
28735Shall we listen to the proposal, Frank?
28735Shall we speak of our discoveries this afternoon?
28735Shall we try him?
28735Shall we try it?
28735So that is part of the Brownell property?
28735So,said Inspector Condon, reading the note on the back of the card;"you are the three chaps who made such a stir in that business in California?
28735Somebody chasing you?
28735That interference again?
28735That so?
28735That you, Jack?
28735That your idea?
28735Then what, Hawkshaw?
28735Then what?
28735Tried it?
28735Turn the tables, Jack?
28735Want to come along?
28735Well, what do you know about that?
28735Well, what made you believe the other plane was watching us?
28735Well, why do n''t you go back to capture Senorita Rafaela?
28735What did Bob say to him?
28735What do you mean? 28735 What do you mean?"
28735What do you mean?
28735What does he mean, may I ask?
28735What does this mean?
28735What else could he say? 28735 What happened?"
28735What happened?
28735What if nothing comes of it? 28735 What in the world are you doing out here?"
28735What in the world can those be?
28735What is it?
28735What is it?
28735What is your idea, Captain Folsom?
28735What man?
28735What next?
28735What say to a plunge before we go up to the house?
28735What shall we do, though, Jack?
28735What was it like this time, Jack?
28735What was to stop him? 28735 What would you give to know?"
28735What''s flying got to do with it?
28735What''s the joke?
28735What''s the matter with his own?
28735What''s the matter with us?
28735What''s the matter?
28735What''s the matter?
28735What, Dad?
28735What, Tom? 28735 What?
28735Where are the others?
28735Where are we? 28735 Where did you see this plane, Jack?"
28735Where have you been?
28735Who do you think this mysterious man behind the operations of the liquor runners can be?
28735Who is he?
28735Who''s that?
28735Who-- who is it?
28735Why did you hurry us away from that office? 28735 Why do n''t you pick on a fellow your size?"
28735Why do you say it has been flying about here for some time?
28735Why has n''t one of us thought of that radio- controlled airplane before? 28735 Why not?"
28735Why not?
28735Why not?
28735Why, are n''t you the lads who were in my office to- day?
28735Why, may I ask?
28735Why, where are Bob and Frank?
28735Why, where did you come from?
28735Why?
28735Wonder what it is?
28735Would n''t you like that, Miss Faulkner?
28735Yes,said Bob, who was comfortably sprawled out in a long low wicker chair;"what''s it all about?"
28735You do n''t expect a good looking girl to be interested in you, do you?
28735You mean he had the nerve to come back here while we were up at the house? 28735 You mean the radio- controlled plane must be put out of commission?"
28735You remember what was said last night about the operations of the liquor smugglers in and around New York?
28735You up, old man? 28735 You''re Mr. Higginbotham, are n''t you?"
28735Also, has anybody got any matches?
28735And that his man calmly walked into the radio plant and operated it for him?
28735And we''re safe so far, are n''t we?"
28735And why did n''t you tell Mr. Higginbotham our reason for trying to discover something about this man who has taken the Brownell place?"
28735And, anyhow, why should any of them attack me?
28735And, say, fellows----""What?"
28735Anything the matter?"
28735Apparently, he had not done so, for his next question was:"Do you fly around here often in your plane?"
28735Are any of you familiar with the interior?
28735Are you offshore?"
28735As Jack deftly laced up the other''s shoes, he said in an anxious tone:"Do you think, sir, those people set the fire?
28735But do them fellers on the roof know it?"
28735But first tell me are you hurt any place other than your head?"
28735But was anyone in that other room, in attendance?
28735But, with a radio land station, why ca n''t such communications be carried on by radio in code?"
28735CHAPTER I TWO MYSTERIES"Not much like last summer, is it, Jack?"
28735Ca n''t you persuade Lieutenant Summers to let us accompany the party?"
28735Can they be some type of torpedo- shaped boat controlled by radio?"
28735Can you be at the beach to guide us?"
28735Captain Folsom,"he added, deferring to the older man,"what do you think we ought to do?"
28735D''ye think now et was them Mexicans comin''back?"
28735Did n''t you?"
28735Did they?
28735Did you follow?"
28735Did you get it together again, Bob?"
28735Do n''t ye know any better, ye scut?"
28735Do n''t you fellows imagine that is about what their plan of procedure would be?"
28735Do you hear me?
28735Do you suppose any boats of the''Dry Navy''about which you spoke are in the vicinity, Captain Folsom?"
28735Do you think our searchlight has been seen by these rascals?"
28735Does it make you sick?"
28735Engine gone wrong, or what was it?"
28735Frank, do you know?
28735Had he seen them pursue him and spy on him as he visited the schooner?
28735Had their captors departed, and left them bound, in that apparently impregnable cell, to die?
28735Have n''t either of you heard the sound of a plane lately?"
28735Have you heard from your father?"
28735Have you tried the door?
28735Hear the shootin''now, do n''t ye?"
28735His name?
28735How about the rest of you?"
28735How about the rest of you?"
28735How could he get rid of these boys without disclosing to them that his was a radio- controlled plane?
28735How could they escape from a cell such as this?
28735How could we do that?"
28735How did the station ever come to be built?
28735How did you happen to change your plans and come here?"
28735I suppose you were trying to point out this other plane to me then?"
28735Is Lieutenant Summers aboard?
28735Is it locked?"
28735Is that how it happened to come down near the schooner?
28735Is that what you mean?"
28735It does n''t go down to the water, does it, Bob?"
28735It would be a catastrophe if the plane burned just at this particular time, would n''t it?
28735Jack, who had been watching developments breathlessly, ran to the bridge, and called:"May I make a suggestion, sir?"
28735Jack?"
28735Just throw it over here on my head, will you?"
28735Look here,"he added, with sudden resolution;"where does that man, Tom Barnum, sleep?"
28735Look up the Secret Service men, or have lunch first?"
28735Might not that have been the indentation made by the radio plane?"
28735My service pistol has been taken, and I presume you fellows also have been searched and deprived of your weapons?"
28735Now what brought him down here?"
28735Oh, boy, but was n''t that a blast in the ear?"
28735Or did it?
28735Or, would the station be deserted?
28735Ought we to go away and leave him?"
28735Remember?"
28735Say, Jack, remember how you felt when we were licked in our attempt to escape from that dive out in San Francisco?
28735Suppose that whatever has happened at that fellow''s radio plant can not be fixed up for a long period, what will Higginbotham do?
28735Suppose we were to swoop down on them in our airplane, they might think, what then?
28735The Bull Fighter Song, hey?
28735The old Brownell place?
28735Then, turning to Captain Folsom, he added:"Well, captain, where do we go from here?
28735Then, what sort of ship was it probable the light came from?
28735Tom, do you?"
28735Tom,"he added, turning to Tom Barnum;"how big was the blaze when you saw it?"
28735Two o''clock?
28735Was it bearing away for the schooner?
28735Was there not a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes, quickly veiled, as he saw who had come to his rescue?
28735Well, what''ll we do now?
28735What are your papers?"
28735What can I do for you?"
28735What d''ye call it?
28735What do you say to laying the matter before Uncle George and Mr. Hampton at dinner?
28735What does it mean?
28735What happened, anyhow?
28735What happened?
28735What is it like?
28735What say?"
28735What should he say if a government boat replied?
28735What time had they left home?
28735What was that?
28735What were you boys doing in the city to- day?
28735What would he find underneath?
28735What''s become of it?"
28735What''s that?"
28735What''s the matter with our hunting up the Secret Service men?
28735Where are the others?"
28735Where are we?
28735Where are you calling from?
28735Where is Captain Folsom?"
28735Where you going?"
28735Where''s Bob?"
28735Who are you?
28735Who commands here?"
28735Who could it be?
28735Who is calling?"
28735Who is he, by the way, Jack?"
28735Who would he find there?
28735Why ca n''t you let well enough alone?"
28735Will you please search your pockets, everybody?"
28735Would the smugglers in the liquor ship offshore be likely to show a light?
28735Yet why should they seek to recapture the Brownell place?
28735You know what?"
28735You think you''re grand, do n''t you, to go flying off in your airplane, on the very day I invite a girl down here to meet you?"
35987A little fish, coffee-- what is there in this to give me indigestion? 35987 Again I ask, what mean you?"
35987Ah,he cried,"I can trust you?
35987Am I dreaming?
35987And Carlos has a glass eye?
35987And are all these peoples powerful?
35987And did n''t he say something about our being in a place of which no report was allowed to get out?
35987And does he give safe conduct?
35987And from the monastery, Jack?
35987And has n''t it ever been sought for?
35987And he has read''Caesar''?
35987And if you are killed,said Mr. Hampton,"what will happen?"
35987And is it in search of this''Enchanted City''that we are going?
35987And is the city really threatened?
35987And is this so?
35987And the Incas never conquered them, in spite of their powerful armies?
35987And the third party, Dad?
35987And then what, Prince Huaca?
35987And they told you all this?
35987And who among you understands this best?
35987And why is this used rather than the other?
35987And you promise we shall not be slain?
35987And, Jack, you remember Don Ernesto''s toupee?
35987Anything said about radio?
35987Are these objects not employed?
35987Ask him about a flag of truce, Dad, whether the Incarial forces would respect it?
35987Because Prince Huaca asked you not to?
35987But do n''t you realize that if we go now, we go as prisoners, and not under the protection of a flag of truce?
35987But how?
35987But in what way?
35987But what if the earthquake do not come?
35987But what is the danger to us in that? 35987 But what would wipe them out?"
35987But who will speak from the battlement, Jack?
35987But, Dad, do n''t you see? 35987 But, Dad,"protested Jack one day,"can it be the Enchanted City was among these lofty peaks?
35987But, Prince Huaca,he objected,"must you not obey the Inca''s command and appear with us, or place yourself in rebellion?"
35987But, can not the voice- through- the- air carry your message?
35987Could they all speak Spanish?
35987Could you call men from beyond the mountains to Cuso Hurrin?
35987Dad,interrupted Jack,"remember what I said about the ring radio?
35987Did they question you about the outside world? 35987 Did you see that?"
35987Did you tell them about the modern inventions?
35987Do n''t laugh, Jack, will you?
35987Do you consider it would succeed?
35987Do you know what this is?
35987Do you know, Don Ernesto?
35987Do you think so?
35987Do you think, Mr. Hampton, that there is any likelihood the Enchanted City is still flourishing?
35987Father,said Ferdinand,"what is your opinion of Prince Huaca?"
35987First of all,said he to Michac,"how came you here, my friend?"
35987Hard? 35987 Have you seen anything to make you fear?"
35987How about it?
35987How do you manage to keep so cheerful in this isolated spot, surrounded by these great mountains, with their eternal snows? 35987 How now, Felipe,"said he,"you show all this enthusiasm over hearing operatic music or the dance of the Pampas guachero within monastic walls?"
35987How tell?
35987I mean, about the old days of the Spanish Conquest of South America? 35987 If he does n''t,"said Jack,"what''s to prevent us from bluffing this High Priest, Cinto, into putting them on?
35987If their leaders knew of Cusco Hurrin, they would not seek to conquer and enslave us as did the Conquerors to ancient Cusco and Inca Atahualpa?
35987Is that a signal fire, or something like that, by any chance, Dad?
35987It is hard to believe, is n''t it, Frank?
35987Jack, do n''t you see?
35987Last night?
35987Listen to that, will you?
35987Look at these counsellors and courtiers, will you? 35987 Look here, what do you think our chances of escape are going to be?"
35987Look,said Jack excitedly,"Who is that?"
35987Senor Jack, is it you? 35987 Senor, it is fine to be a boy again, is it not so?"
35987So states the message, yet Senor----"What?
35987So you think you''d get to be a big gun here and then open the Enchanted City to civilization?
35987Still another than Spanish?
35987Succeed, Senor? 35987 Suppose, too,"he said,"that the Inca refuses to don the headphones?
35987That it is still inhabited by descendants of the ancient Incas and the Spaniards?
35987That these descendants of the Incas should be keeping the great annual religious ceremony of their ancestors? 35987 Then they are not your servants?"
35987Then you will rebel?
35987They are, doubtless, far better weapons than those which we make after the pattern of the arms brought hither by the Spaniards in the early days?
35987This earthquake of which you speak? 35987 To what place?"
35987Tribe?
35987Well boys, did you think we were never going to return?
35987Well, Jack, when you think of modern inventions, you think of the airplane and radio and steamers and locomotives and telephones, do n''t you?
35987Well, Jack, you remember Pedro has false teeth? 35987 Well, ca n''t they learn to make modern war?"
35987Well, for goodness sake, what is it? 35987 Well, the best thing then is for us to go downstream, is n''t it?"
35987Well, what of it?
35987Well, what''s more fun than doing what you like to do, once in a while? 35987 Well, why not?"
35987What are we waiting for?
35987What did they ask you?
35987What did they do with you?
35987What do you mean? 35987 What do you think they will do with us, Dad?"
35987What do you think we''ll find?
35987What do you think, Don Ernesto?
35987What does Pedro say?
35987What is it, Frank?
35987What is it? 35987 What is it?"
35987What is that?
35987What mean these strange objects borne by your men?
35987What mean you?
35987What says the young man?
35987What shall we do?
35987What think you, Senor?
35987What was it like?
35987What would you do, Dad?
35987What''ll we do with it? 35987 What''s the joke, boys?
35987What, Dad? 35987 What,"exclaimed Frank,"and stay here all our lives?"
35987What? 35987 What?"
35987What?
35987What?
35987What?
35987When are they going to take off these blinkers?
35987Which shall it be?
35987Why did n''t you market this device yourself, Jack?
35987Why in the world do you have to beat him? 35987 Why is he doing that, I wonder?"
35987Why not? 35987 Why not?"
35987Why not?
35987Why worry, Dad?
35987Why worry? 35987 Why, Dad,"asked Jack, anxiously,"What do you mean?"
35987Will you come with us to the battlement, Senor?
35987Wo n''t you fellows ever grow up?
35987Would n''t they kill us, if we refuse to become citizens?
35987Would they poison the food, perhaps, Father?
35987Would we be deprived of these if we went to the Inca''s palace?
35987Yes, but think you we can obtain Prince Huaca''s release?
35987Yes,said Ferdinand, coming up,"and my father?"
35987Yes?
35987Yes?
35987You said something about Frank and Bob?
35987You say the peoples surrounding us are peace- loving?
35987''Art thou not of the Inca blood?''
35987''The Young Wizards, hey?''
35987A full set, with a rubber plate that looks just like a palate?"
35987All this that you see, all Santiago and Lima and our other cities-- what, after all, is it?
35987Alone in this isolation, pitted against shrewd- witted men lusting for his downfall, what chance had he?
35987And are we not separated from this Lord of whom you speak by many leagues of wild land?
35987And it was this which led you?"
35987And what did you tell them?"
35987And what means this talk of lightnings?
35987And you want to have a full stomach, then, or how can you perform well?
35987As late as that?"
35987But do n''t you think it would be rather mean to frighten our friends?"
35987But how can it benefit us?"
35987But what could he want with them?
35987But who would think to see that ancient ceremony of the Feast of Raymi reproduced today by the descendants of the Children of the Sun?"
35987But, tell me, by what right do you thus seek to interfere in the affairs of Cusco Hurrin?
35987But, what I was going to ask is, What time is it?"
35987But---- CHAPTER XIX-- TREACHERY"What''s that?"
35987By what right do you steal upon us like this?
35987CHAPTER IX-- SURPRISED IN THE FOREST"I wonder where Dad is?"
35987CHAPTER XIII-- THE FEAST OF RAYMI"Fellows, what''s that?"
35987CHAPTER XXII-- INTO THE INCA''S COURT"Do?"
35987Ca n''t we do something?
35987Ca n''t we persuade them to flee?
35987Can he do this, and then restore that man to his original appearance?"
35987Can it be right?
35987Could he have been mistaken?
35987Could it be he was mistaken?
35987Did it mean, perhaps, that there really still did exist dwellers in the Enchanted City, and that his father''s party had been surprised and captured?
35987Did n''t that chap call this the''Forbidden Land?''"
35987Do you, therefore, hold yourselves in readiness to appear and be questioned?
35987Does that suit you?"
35987Further, would there be time for a man to reach Jack?
35987Had anything untoward occurred in the Inca''s Council?
35987Had he been wise in permitting them to go?
35987Had his eyes played him tricks?
35987Hampton?"
35987Has it ever erupted?"
35987Have you no other magic greater than these?"
35987Having such a good time of it, that you hate to miss a minute?"
35987He certainly was filled with stories of treasure, of Inca treasure, was n''t he?"
35987Hey?"
35987How about it?"
35987How explain the phenomenon of radio to an idolator to whom it could mean nothing other than witchcraft and wizardry?
35987How have you fared?"
35987Hunt treasure?
35987If one man may creep in thus easily, may not others have done so?
35987If these descendants of the Incas keep their fast now, how is it our food has been cooked?"
35987Is it a toy?"
35987Is it not so, my friend?"
35987Is it not so?"
35987Is n''t it, father?"
35987Is n''t that acting in a pretty broad manner for the head of a monastery?"
35987Is not Cusco Hurrin a sealed city whence no messengers may depart?
35987Is the Inca of Cusco Hurrin a child to be frightened by foolish tales?"
35987Is this not the work of the Fiend?"
35987May I ask, therefore, what your own plans are?
35987Meanwhile, may not the fortress be attacked and treachery succeed, where tonight''s attempt fortunately came to naught?"
35987Men, what shall it be?
35987Or would he carry out his part in the plot successfully?
35987Or would the reinforcements of the Palace Guard arrive in time to break down resistance?
35987Perhaps, what you wish to say is for their ears, too?"
35987Say, but would n''t that be an experience for you?"
35987Shall I proceed, or is the Court of the Inca of Cusco Hurrin timid as a child and unwilling to look upon these marvels?"
35987Shall we tell this lad"--laying his hand on Jack''s shoulder--"to pluck forth the High Priest''s eye?"
35987Should he investigate?
35987Should he peer around the edge or get on top of the parapet and stare down?
35987So it was something like this which Prince Huaca had in mind?
35987The Inca?"
35987The annual festival of the Sun?"
35987The party moved along in silence, until Bob declared:"Fellows, did you ever see a finer road?"
35987Then he said:"But has not too much learning made them weak, so that they are like women and can not fight?"
35987They will not come to loot Cusco Hurrin and slay my people, but to make friends and teach them?"
35987They----""But can they read and write, can they do this?"
35987This was why he had asked them not to speak of radio before the Council?
35987This, then, was the reason for his interest in the subject of radio?
35987Thought you were going to run into something wild and savage, did n''t you?
35987Thought you''d sneak it over, hey?"
35987Was he living in the twentieth century?
35987Was not I?
35987We know how foolish either project would be?"
35987Were his enemies on the move against him?
35987Were they not going to certain death, in spite of fair promises?
35987What are they?"
35987What are we going to do?"
35987What can have detained them?"
35987What could Frank have in mind?
35987What could a skulker be doing here?
35987What could it mean?
35987What do you make of it, Dad?"
35987What have you got in mind?
35987What if the Inca should point to some man in disfavor and ask that they blind him, render him toothless or scalp him?
35987What is it like?"
35987What is it?
35987What is it?
35987What is it?"
35987What is there to laugh at?"
35987What of it?
35987What shall I do?"
35987What then?"
35987What worked?"
35987What''s all this got to do with rescuing Prince Huaca-- false teeth, glass eyes and toupee?"
35987What''s the matter with you, anyway?"
35987Whence, then, came the shots?
35987Where can they be?
35987Who knows but that some day now the Holy Father himself can speak to us, his children, in his own voice, though we dwell at the ends of the earth?
35987Who knows but that some day we can hear Rome just as easily?
35987Who knows?
35987Who''s fighting?"
35987Why had the enemy not entered?
35987Why should I not command my soldiers to seize you at once?"
35987Why, he asked, had plans miscarried?
35987Will you ask him where we are being taken?"
35987Will you fight or submit?"
35987Will you permit me,"he asked suddenly,"to tender you one of them?
35987Would Michac fail them?
35987Would de Arguello''s expedition, for instance, have gotten so high?"
35987Would n''t that just give them fits?
35987Would the soldiers of the fortress win back to shelter with their comrades?
35987You know my ring radio set?
35987You remember that Father Collins of the parish near us at home built a Community Hall where he gives motion picture shows and radio concerts?"
35987You''re going to object that Michac wo n''t know when the Inca puts on the receivers, are n''t you?"
14278A thief?
14278Airplane? 14278 And it seems to me I have already been of some trifling aid-- actually?"
14278And that is, has anybody among our enemies-- for I suppose we can call them that-- listened- in when we spoke by radio?
14278And who is this Don?
14278And why, if you are friends,he demanded,"do you two appear in the clothing of Herr von Arnheim and Captain Morales?"
14278Anybody here know we were coming?
14278Anybody hurt?
14278Anything in your house a fellow could carry off in a pocket, Hampton?
14278Are n''t you going to say farewell?
14278Are you calling Rollins?
14278Are you scared?
14278Assassin?
14278But have you the key to this door?
14278But how could you do that?
14278But in that case, Uncle George,demanded Frank,"why would n''t the Mexicans be making trouble for the Octopus, too?"
14278But the question now is, what are we going to do? 14278 But what fun do I get out of this?"
14278But what makes you think the Mexicans want to get into a war with Uncle Sam?
14278But where?
14278But who are you, then?
14278But who are you? 14278 But why, Uncle George?"
14278But will you please explain?
14278But, good gracious, Tom, is anything the matter? 14278 But, why?"
14278But,he added, confidently,"what if they do?
14278Ca n''t I listen in on this confab?
14278Came to rescue you? 14278 Can I trust you?"
14278Can not you see this young man is telling the truth? 14278 Can you hear me?
14278Can you hear? 14278 Challenge him in Spanish, why do n''t you?"
14278Did anybody get close enough to see him? 14278 Did they capture him?"
14278Did you know Remedios sneaked up last night and took his flivver again, right from under our noses?
14278Do the others guess who we are?
14278Do you mean you will help me-- actually?
14278Do you think he''ll let us fly?
14278Do you think that fellow Remedios came here himself and drove it off?
14278Does anybody else know of this?
14278Escaped you, hey?
14278Father?
14278For one thing?
14278Frank? 14278 Frank?"
14278Go back to Hampton ranch again?
14278Going?
14278Great guns,grumbled Bob,"do n''t these birds ever sleep?
14278Have I not said so?
14278Have we any right to open this?
14278Heard from Della lately?
14278Here?
14278How about Dad?
14278How about taking a look at the radio plant?
14278How about this attack on us yesterday?
14278How are things going, Jack?
14278How do you know?
14278How far would those fellows in the airplane have to go to reach the cave after landing?
14278How is that, sir?
14278How long was he in there?
14278How many do you make out?
14278How will we do?
14278How would I?
14278I have n''t been given much chance to talk to''em, have I? 14278 Is it a copy of the list I recovered from the thief who stole it from Mr. Hampton''s house on Long Island?"
14278Is it really you, Bob?
14278Is n''t there something we can do?
14278Is that so?
14278Is that the way you feel about it, Jack?
14278Is there only the one entrance to the cave?
14278Jack?
14278Just the same,he said,"the ranch would get the warning, unless--""Unless what?"
14278Key? 14278 Locked doors at so early an hour?"
14278Look here,he said,"is n''t there some way we can sneak up there to find out if matters are all right or not?
14278Look here,said Bob to Tom Bodine,"does that cave face this way or is it on the other side of a hill?"
14278Miss Calomares?
14278No, that so?
14278Now what will we do?
14278Oh,he cried, leaping to his feet and beginning to walk up and down the room distractedly,"is n''t there something we can do?
14278Opportunity?
14278Or must I continue to mount guard here? 14278 Papa, what is the matter?
14278Pete, did I drop an envelope-- a long blue envelope-- at breakfast?
14278Saw me punch him? 14278 Say, Bob, why are you so rude to Della?"
14278Say, Bob,he declared,"old Jack is n''t having all the fun after all, is he?"
14278Shall we tell him what Mr. Temple says is behind all this?
14278So they did n''t get you after all? 14278 So?"
14278Something gone wrong?
14278Tell me, is this true?
14278That is, if-- When did this happen?
14278That so?
14278That you are an assassin sent by that horrible President Obregon?
14278That''s right, Tom''s your sweetheart, is n''t he?
14278Then what did you do?
14278There''s the radiophone station, hey, Jack?
14278They discovered you?
14278Tom,said Jack, without any preliminaries, and showing his excitement in his voice and manner,"what was Mr. Rollins doing here?
14278Tom? 14278 Was it not natural for two lone women to lock their door?"
14278Was it the bandits?
14278Well, Dad,said Jack, turning to his father,"did n''t you say Don Fernandez comes to call on you before retiring?"
14278Well, do you know what I think?
14278Well, then, whom was he telephoning to?
14278Well,said Don Fernandez, the faintest suggestion of a twinkle in his eye,"now that you have met me, as you desired, what have you to say?"
14278Were n''t there a bunch of German spies in Mexico, stirring things up there against us, during the war? 14278 What are you driving at?"
14278What brings you here, Pete?
14278What did you say?
14278What do you know of how politics is carried on in our poor, distracted country? 14278 What do you make of it?"
14278What do you make of this?
14278What do you mean, Uncle George?
14278What do you mean?
14278What do you mean?
14278What do you mean?
14278What do you mean?
14278What do you think I am? 14278 What does he mean Jack?"
14278What does this mean?
14278What happened, Tom?
14278What happened?
14278What in the world?
14278What is it, now?
14278What is it? 14278 What is it?
14278What is it?
14278What is it?
14278What is that?
14278What shall we do?
14278What station do you want to call?
14278What''s that?
14278What''s the matter?
14278What''s the trouble?
14278What''s this for, Pete?
14278What''s your name? 14278 What''s your other reason?"
14278What?
14278What?
14278Whazzamatter?
14278When do we pack?
14278Where do you get''em? 14278 Where have you been, Jack?"
14278Where is it?
14278Where were you walking?
14278Where''s Jack?
14278Who is with you?
14278Who will prepare dinner for them now?
14278Who''s there?
14278Whom did he talk to?
14278Why have n''t I thought of that before? 14278 Why not, Dad?"
14278Why not?
14278Why not?
14278Why not?
14278Why?
14278Will we carry him?
14278Will you come back to capture our castle again?
14278Yes,kidded Frank,"what were you aiming to do, anyway?
14278You wanted to meet me?
14278You would n''t hurt him, Bob, would you?
14278You''re an American, are n''t you?
14278You''re certainly getting it, are n''t you? 14278 You, you read the letter?"
14278Young man, you''re in a hurry, are n''t you?
14278Your son?
14278A voice whispered so low it was barely audible to him:"That you, Jack?"
14278After all, what could happen?
14278All this Jack explained and then asked:"Mr. Temple, what would you advise me to do?"
14278Am I right?"
14278Am I right?"
14278An airplane?
14278And do you know what I think their purpose was?
14278And here, what''s this?"
14278And how do you happen to be with these fellows?"
14278And how in the world is it possible for you to radio?
14278And vice versa?"
14278And where, may I ask, are Morales and Von Arnheim?
14278And, Bob, did you notice the license number of the car?
14278And-- what shall we do about father?"
14278Any word from your father?"
14278Anything wrong?"
14278Anything you want to take with you?"
14278Are n''t you, Bob?
14278Are they speaking in Spanish?"
14278Are you all right?"
14278Are you game to follow me?"
14278Are you going to leave me like this?"
14278Are you hurt?
14278Are you not here to watch over me?
14278Are you with Obregon?"
14278Before Jack could repeat his challenge, however, a familiar voice replied:"That you, Jack?
14278But how are we to escape, Jack?
14278But how in the world did you come here?"
14278But look at the setting, will you?"
14278But what I want to know is, can we telephone my father at your ranch?"
14278But where did they get the petrol?"
14278But where in the world could they land in these hills and in this darkness, too?"
14278But who are you?
14278CHAPTER XIV THE KEY TO THE MYSTERY"What is it?"
14278CHAPTER XVII INSIDE THE CAVE"What is it?"
14278CHAPTER XXIII THE TABLES TURNED"What was that?"
14278Can he be trusted?"
14278Can you hear me?"
14278Did n''t it strike you all as strange that they were in an auto?
14278Did you notice, Mr. Rollins?
14278Do you boys feel you can keep out of mischief if left to yourselves?"
14278Do you hear me?
14278Do you know where the Calomares ranch is located?"
14278Does that mean anything to you?"
14278Donna Ana sidled close and whispered:"Shall I call your father?
14278Frank voiced the question in each mind as he said in a tone of apprehension:"What do you think happened to Jack?"
14278Government troops attacking, hey?
14278Have you a heavy chair you can use?"
14278Have you questioned them yet?"
14278Have you seen Mr. Rollins this morning?"
14278Holding the headpiece to his ear, he set his lips to the telephone instrument and called:"Jack, Jack, you there?"
14278How closely are you tied up with the rebels?
14278How did you arrive?"
14278How does that fit into my theory?
14278How far away is the cave?
14278How far is it, by the way?"
14278How will we go about it?"
14278How would they have to approach the cave?"
14278How''s that?"
14278I thought we left you heading back for home five hours ago?"
14278If he were to take flight in it, how was he to get away?
14278If that were true, when the searchers came to this locked door, what would happen?
14278If the Octopus is responsible for our troubles, then where do the Mexicans come in?
14278Is n''t that so?"
14278Jack peered into the darkness and called firmly:"Who are you?"
14278Moreover, if they carried out their original plan and went to rebel headquarters to enlist, would they not there, too, be suspected?
14278Mr. Hampton saved the situation by raising his voice, and calling:"Is that you, Don Fernandez?
14278Now what is it you want?
14278Now who were the bandits, and what did they want?
14278Of those shots?"
14278Oh, ca n''t we do something?"
14278Put on a Wild West thriller for a bunch of tenderfeet fresh from New York?"
14278Removing his hand from the microphone, he interrupted his chum with the question:"Now, who''s the lady- killer?"
14278Rollins?"
14278Say, Dad, we''ll go by airplane, wo n''t we?"
14278Say, when are you coming?
14278Shall we, telephone the county sheriff about this attack on us tonight and about Remedios?
14278Suppose I go back and pick up him and Roy Stone, and leave Tom to bring in the horses?"
14278Then as a new idea occurred to him, he asked:"But how about tellin''my side pard, Dave?
14278Then, why are you here?"
14278There''s--""What do you mean?"
14278Tom Bodine?"
14278Tom, what''s the lay of the land?
14278Turning to Jack, he whispered:"Is it safe to tell him who we are?
14278Was Tom, the ex- cowboy, on guard at the radio plant, a traitor?
14278Was it part of this plot against our oil interests?"
14278Was it wise for Mr. Temple, unaware of Rollins''s duplicity, to discuss matters with him?
14278Was old Jack hard hit by that little Spanish beauty?
14278We have them prisoners now and if we keep them well guarded until we have rescued your father, what does it matter how much they know?"
14278Were they ordinary robbers after money, or was their object something deeper?
14278What I came to ask was whether the man had hidden here?
14278What did it all mean?
14278What do you intend to do with your prisoners?"
14278What do you say to capturing it and laying for them there?"
14278What do you say to taking us with you?
14278What do you say?"
14278What happened?"
14278What in the world should a fellow do in a case like this?
14278What in the world?"
14278What is it?"
14278What is the meaning of all this noise?
14278What say to calling the cave?"
14278What say?"
14278What should he do?
14278What then?"
14278What was Remedios doing here?
14278What was his name, Frank?"
14278What was it he must do?
14278What were they doing at the radio plant?
14278What were they whispering about?
14278What''s that?"
14278What''s the matter?"
14278What''s your game?
14278What?
14278When do we start?"
14278Who came out first?
14278Who was that with him?"
14278Who were the two men?
14278Who would crank the motor by twirling the propeller?
14278Why are you here?
14278Why, Jack?
14278Why, where were you?"
14278Will you give it to him?"
14278Will you not honor me by coming in?
14278Would it be better to leave our horses here and approach on foot?"
14278Would she help?
14278Would this surprising girl never cease astonishing him?
14278Yet what could they do even if they arrived in time?
14278You remember?
14278_ An_ airplane?"
12878A V L."Can you do anything for me?
12878A big radio plot, eh?
12878A pound?
12878After they''d talked their subject dry, what did they find to discuss?
12878All right, Hal, we''ll accept this island as a center of probability-- what next?
12878All right, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, but where''s the sense in figuring this as a big radio plot unless we can see a sensible answer to it?
12878All right, what''ll it be?
12878All you sold was butter?
12878And did n''t you find out anything more specific than what you''ve told me?
12878And did n''t you suppose some of those amateurs know some newspaper reporters?
12878And did they talk about it to anybody?
12878And look up there-- see that wire? 12878 And meanwhile, what did you do?"
12878And the big question now is, how''re we goin''to tune it out?
12878And they''re there yet?
12878And to make a good story you think it is necessary to bring good people and bad people together, eh?
12878And were they interested?
12878And what did they do with him?
12878And what did they do with him?
12878And who may your father be?
12878And you think we''ll find a villain if we investigate it to the end?
12878Anything funny about that? 12878 Anything more?"
12878Are his hands and feet tied?
12878Are n''t you a white cruiser with awning mid and aft, and pilot house on bridge deck?
12878Are you sorry we came?
12878Both of them?
12878But did n''t you hear me put two and two together when this fellow declared that this island belonged to his father?
12878But does n''t it make you impatient to find out what it all means?
12878But how did you get away?
12878But might he not swim over to one of these surrounding islands and attract attention from there?
12878But what do you expect to find?
12878But, say, Cub, do n''t you think you''ve grabbed off enough glory for yourself? 12878 By the way,"Bud remarked, as they were about to leave the cabin,"would you mind telling us the handle of your name?
12878Can you beat that?
12878Can you get word to him of what has happened? 12878 Can you tell us where the boys are and then prove that they''re there before we let you go?"
12878Cub, are you ready to start?
12878Did n''t you get his Canadian call? 12878 Did n''t you see him on the island over there?"
12878Did you get that?
12878Did you lock''i m up in a stateroom?
12878Did you make that out here to- night?
12878Did you pick up any more from them since then?
12878Do n''t know what?
12878Do n''t you know the rules governing that distress signal?
12878Do n''t you know?
12878Do n''t your friends know those men are there?
12878Do you deny that you were just telegraphing a message to a friend of yours?
12878Do you expect a villain to show his hand?
12878Do you know that butter is selling now for thirty- nine or forty cents a pound?
12878Do you know what it means?
12878Do you mean that, Hal?
12878Do you really believe the Crusoe boy is your cousin, Hal?
12878Do you see that stake there?
12878Do you think your father will let us go?
12878Does it give any hint where he is now, Hal?
12878Does n''t it satisfy your lordship?
12878Fer sale?
12878Found what?
12878Has anything happened?
12878Have n''t I given you enough hint?
12878Have you a cousin named Hal?
12878Have you a flag of distress flying?
12878Have you a good map of the Thousand Island region?
12878Have you any fire- arms on sale here?
12878Have you any relatives in the United States?
12878Have you any relatives named Stone?
12878Have you worked it out by mathematics, dad?
12878He was on an island, was he?
12878How about those sophomores who kidnapped your cousin and marooned him here?
12878How are they going to get hold of it?
12878How can I present the matter so as to start you out right? 12878 How can you use that to explain a mystery?"
12878How could they help us?
12878How could you drive them off of here when they had no boat to go in?
12878How do you know that?
12878How do you know they would n''t do something worse than haze freshmen?
12878How do you know?
12878How does the discovery of my cousin come in?
12878How far do you think we had better go?
12878How long would the trip take?
12878How many are they of your friends?
12878How many chapters do you figure it would make thus far?
12878How much did you charge for butter?
12878How''s that?
12878How''s that?
12878How''s that?
12878How?
12878I? 12878 Is he at home?"
12878Is his name Raymond Flood?
12878Is it Oswego?
12878Is it Rochester?
12878Is that all you can say?
12878Is that geography or mathematics?
12878Is that motor boat that brought you here down at the landing yet?
12878Is that so? 12878 Is that so?"
12878Is the island for sale?
12878Is the name Hal Stone familiar to you?
12878Is there a boy in there?
12878Is there any way we can get in?
12878Is there anything I can do to help you?
12878Is there something going on here that you do n''t want the authorities to know anything about?
12878It''s a radio- college story, is n''t it?
12878It''s common sense, is n''t it?
12878More of a puzzle than ever, is n''t it?
12878Mystery, was n''t it?
12878New York City?
12878Next question, how long are we going to stay here?
12878Nor the geography?
12878Now, for an answer to question number three-- What shall we do while here?
12878Now, what is the question, Hal?
12878Now, what next?
12878Now, would you like to make a trip down to the landing and occupy a stateroom in the Catwhisker with your father? 12878 On what ground?"
12878Peeled for what?
12878Permit for what?
12878See how the grass is tramped down around here?
12878Shall I give him the information?
12878Shall we dash to the rescue and face those four men, who probably are armed with pistols?
12878Shall we go ashore and look that place over?
12878Small or large?
12878So that is your explanation for not being very familiar with retail prices, is it?
12878So that''s the way the wind blows, is it? 12878 Some more mystery, eh?"
12878Still, do n''t you think the search has been worth while?
12878Suppose you and Cub go and leave Bud and me here to look after the camp and watch for developments?
12878Sure-- why not?
12878That about completes the list, does n''t it?
12878The chief problem now remaining to be solved is, what became of your cousin?
12878The island? 12878 The question-- what was the question?"
12878Then your name is not Alvin Baker?
12878This makes it look as if that last distress message we got from the island was no fake affair?
12878Was it those four men who made prisoners of you?
12878Was n''t it more mechanical than mathematical?
12878Was n''t it ordered that both of us should be Fridays?
12878We''re not exactly right in calling Hal''s cousin a Robinson Crusoe, are we?
12878Well, how are we goin''to begin?
12878Well, how does it stand?
12878Well, shall we stop, turn to the right or left, or go ahead?
12878Well, suppose we find the island and nobody there, how are we going to know it''s the right one?
12878Well, that''s what makes fireworks, is n''t it?
12878Well, what are you in favor of doing?
12878Well, what did you mean?
12878Well, what do I pay you for?
12878Well, what luck?
12878Well, what''s the question?
12878Well, what''s your idea, Tee- hee?
12878Well,mused Cub;"the others are history, geography, spelling--""Why did n''t you stop with geography?"
12878Well?
12878Were they?
12878Were you listening to them all the time you were gone?
12878What are sines and cosines?
12878What are they doing here? 12878 What are they?"
12878What are they?
12878What are we going to do about Bud''s prisoner?
12878What authorities shall we ask to help us?
12878What can we do here nearly two hundred miles away from him?
12878What city?
12878What did you do with the prisoner?
12878What did you sell butter at a loss for?
12878What do you do there?
12878What do you make out of it, then?
12878What do you mean by that?
12878What do you mean by that?
12878What do you think is going to happen?
12878What do you think we ought to do?
12878What does that mean?
12878What fer?
12878What for? 12878 What for?"
12878What in the world does that mean?
12878What in the world shall we do?
12878What in thunder is that?
12878What is his last name?
12878What is it?
12878What is the next step for us to take?
12878What is your call?
12878What is your name?
12878What kind of mathematics would you use to locate that treasure?
12878What kind of men are they-- rough characters, bad men?
12878What kind of store?
12878What makes you so certain of that?
12878What makes you think that?
12878What story?
12878What was it that happened?
12878What was the price of butter the last day you worked?
12878What with?
12878What would you charge him with? 12878 What''ll we do next, then?"
12878What''ll we do?
12878What''re you fellers doin''on our island?
12878What''s that you got there?
12878What''s that?
12878What''s the matter, Bud?
12878What''s the matter?
12878What''s the trouble, boys?
12878What''s the use?
12878What''s this?
12878What''s up now, dad?
12878What''s your call?
12878What, for instance?
12878What-- return the goat or disprove the mystery?
12878When are you coming to Rockport?
12878When?
12878Where are they now?
12878Where are we-- in Canada or the United States?
12878Where are you now?
12878Where did they go?
12878Where did you get that?
12878Where do they live?
12878Where do you live?
12878Where is Alvin?
12878Where is he?
12878Where is that international boundary line?
12878Where is the maze of language in this affair?
12878Where is your cousin now?
12878Where is your island?
12878Where was the fellow who tried to head us off?
12878Where was the island operator when he sent his last message? 12878 Where''d your friends go?"
12878Where''ll we go?
12878Where''s the best place to fish?
12878Where-- not here?
12878Who are they?
12878Who are you?
12878Who else is on this island?
12878Who is he-- one of that gang?
12878Who is he?
12878Who put that stake there?
12878Who told you all o''that?
12878Who was that fellow that snapped you up so sassy?
12878Who''ll be Crusoe and who''ll be Friday?
12878Whom is he talking to?
12878Why ca n''t you help map it out?
12878Why did n''t he tell us he was being hazed by some college boys?
12878Why did you leave them?
12878Why do I get your goat, Bob?
12878Why do n''t you shoot at him?
12878Why do you think something more is going to happen?
12878Why is it you''re so anxious to have us go?
12878Why not make it''meow''?
12878Why not try to get in touch with some amateur in Cousin Alvin''s home town by wireless?
12878Why not, if we insist on staying? 12878 Why not?"
12878Why not?
12878Why should n''t we be able to find him?
12878Why should they care if we''re here? 12878 Why, do n''t you believe the explanation he telegraphed to us?"
12878Why, do you think his story is true and''Bobby Crusoe''is a fake?
12878Why, what''s doing?
12878Why, where has your father gone, Cub?
12878Why-- what do you mean? 12878 Why?"
12878Why?
12878Why?
12878Why?
12878Why?
12878With mathematics?
12878Without consulting me?
12878Would that be mathematics or geography?
12878Would you like me to turn you over to the father of the boy whom your scoundrel gang kidnapped? 12878 Yes, but the question is, how many steps do we have to take before we settle this-- this-- mystery?"
12878You always have the last word?
12878You do n''t happen to carry a deed to it in your pocket, do you?
12878You do n''t mean that fellow is really your cousin?
12878You do n''t think I''d be down here if I could, do you?
12878You have n''t heard anything from him, have you?
12878You mean butterine, do n''t you?
12878You mean, maybe the whole thing''s a fake-- eh?
12878You say you got that kind of message from those boys?
12878You see we are moving in a geometric circle, do you not?
12878You think it''s a joke?
12878And do n''t you remember that my cousin Al visited us three years ago with his father and mother?
12878At 8:30 next morning Cub called Hal on the telephone and inquired:"Hello, Hal, did you talk to your folks about our plan?"
12878Baker?"
12878But what branch of mathematics is it?"
12878But, say, do n''t you think we''d better make further investigation?"
12878By means of what branch of mathematics was that island of our Canadian Crusoe located?"
12878By the way, what did that fellow say before Bud and I began to listen- in?"
12878CHAPTER II Tragedy or Joke?
12878CHAPTER III Talking It Over What could the fellows say?
12878CHAPTER VIII Mathematics or Geography?
12878CHAPTER XIII"Robinson Crusoe''s"Diary"How in the world did you find that out?"
12878CHAPTER XVI Running Down a Radio Fake"You say you are V A X?"
12878CHAPTER XVIII Unwelcome Visitors"Why, Bud, what do you mean?"
12878CHAPTER XXII The"Crusoe Mystery"Deepens"Now, where have you boys been?
12878CHAPTER XXVI The Sling Shot Victim"What''s the matter, boys?"
12878Ca n''t you help Bob and Hal out?
12878Ca n''t you reach me?
12878Can anybody help me?
12878Can you go to the dock and ask them to hurry back?
12878Can you walk?"
12878Could n''t you sleep?"
12878Cub communicated this condition to the cabin, and Hal dot- and- dashed the following to"VAX":"Where are you?
12878Cub waited a few moments for further comment, but as it was slow coming, he asked impulsively:"What are we going to do?"
12878Did those men take you away?
12878Did you escape?
12878Did you get anything from him, Bud?"
12878Did you get the one in which he confessed the affair was a hoax?"
12878Did you not notice his peculiar manner of sending?
12878Do they claim they own this island?"
12878Do they own this island?"
12878Do you know how to handle an automatic, Bob?"
12878Do you run a boat on the river?"
12878Do you think we''d better turn about and go back home?"
12878Do you understand me?
12878First, why are we here?"
12878Funny surveyor''s stake, is n''t it?"
12878Have you made that fellow out yet?"
12878He''s a reporter, is n''t he?"
12878How did you escape?"
12878How many amateurs do you suppose were listening in and got the messages between you and those two radio contestants?"
12878How would you do that without something to guide your radio compass?"
12878How''s that?"
12878If I have to bring you over into Canada, you''ll come on a stretcher-- see?
12878Just before sending the message that reached its goal, Bud received the following from VAX:"Where are you?
12878Now, do n''t you think it is best for you to give up your secret and tell where that boy is?"
12878Now, what we want to know is, where is he?"
12878Now, will you tell me your name?
12878Perry?"
12878Pretty far fetched is n''t it?"
12878So that''s the international boundary line, is it?"
12878So what''s the use o''kickin''?"
12878Then came the following message:"Have you not given it up yet, boys?
12878Then the operator on Friday Island put the following questions to him:"Do you know Alvin Baker?"
12878Well, what''s the mystery now?"
12878What could they be up to?
12878What did you sell eggs and potatoes for the last day you worked?"
12878What do they indicate, dad?
12878What do you think would happen to you if he got hold of you?
12878What kind of discovery have you made?"
12878What kind of publicity stunt is this, anyway?"
12878What say you, fellows?"
12878What shall we do next?"
12878What-- you ca n''t get up?
12878Where are you?"
12878Where are you?"
12878Where did they take you?
12878Who wants the first watch?"
12878Why did you come out here?
12878Why go through all that Robinson Crusoe nonsense if the end was to be just a plain kidnapping?"
12878Why not tell me now where he is?"
12878Why was that?"
12878You are a Canadian, ai n''t you?"
23728A sweatshop? 23728 A telephone message?
23728Ai n''t that a band?
23728And Miss Nancy?
23728And after provisioning up there Daly was to cruise, eh?
23728And are these harbor stations on islands too?
23728And did he?
23728And do foreign ships have to fall into line and do as our ships do when they come here?
23728And if I am, what then?
23728And left you to tend the tape, did he?
23728And returned?
23728And she was n''t there?
23728And that is all that goes outside the building?
23728And that is?
23728And the dogs?
23728And the rest?
23728And the shore stations?
23728And there was nobody about the place all that time?
23728And what is it for?
23728And what kind of a nurse would he be, do you think, with his ear to that switchboard from daylight until dark?
23728And you did not give the key to any of the maids?
23728And you like dogs?
23728And you really believe a thunderstorm would cause a noise like this?
23728And you''ve come to stay?
23728And-- and what about Lola?
23728Anything heard from Bob?
23728Anything the matter, kid?
23728Are n''t we going to hear anything but this whistling and groaning? 23728 Are n''t you the tyrant, though?"
23728Are they always the same length?
23728Are they fed only once a day?
23728Are you disappointed, Archibald?
23728Are you sure?
23728Bob never could abide clam fritters, could he?
23728Bob? 23728 Broadcast?
23728But are you to be busy to- night?
23728But could Bob leave now, Archibald?
23728But do not the land stations that send messages sometimes interfere with these stations?
23728But he always does call, does n''t he?
23728But how can they be if any and everybody can listen in?
23728But how can they talk and act as one station if they are so far apart?
23728But how can we tell where all that stuff leaves off?
23728But how can you?
23728But how could she with-- with everybody around?
23728But how do messages come through such a chaos?
23728But my dear boy, did n''t you leave her there?
23728But sometimes along the coast are n''t there big government stations belonging to the army or navy? 23728 But suppose I should n''t hear it?"
23728But suppose the government did n''t know anything about such a ship?
23728But suppose the operator who is transmitting went faster than you could?
23728But what about high- power stations?
23728But what good would it do even if we did get his signal?
23728But what is the message? 23728 But what on earth are you doing it_ for_?"
23728But what use is it?
23728But why could n''t he have told us more?
23728But why such a network of other rules?
23728But would you set out to-- that is the question? 23728 But you are not going to let him go scott free, are you Dad?"
23728But you have an idea of it now, have n''t you?
23728Ca n''t we?
23728Can any one get one?
23728Can you understand them yourself?
23728Could n''t find your hidden treasure, eh, old boy?
23728Could n''t the ship waiting to talk send a message in a different wave length?
23728Could n''t you get some one to come and keep you company?
23728Could they get the name of the boat?
23728Could you?
23728Dad? 23728 Did I get the name?"
23728Did you and O''Connel both decide to leave?
23728Did you call?
23728Did you ever know any one to go hungry in this house?
23728Did you ever play baseball, kid?
23728Did you hear what I said?
23728Did you wish to see me?
23728Do n''t they sometimes?
23728Do n''t you hope the outfit will show up well? 23728 Do n''t you think we know anything?"
23728Do n''t you want your dinner?
23728Do you happen to know anything about wireless?
23728Do you imagine boarders will eat more than Bob or I?
23728Do you know the infallible person who can boast such a record?
23728Do you suppose Bob would mind?
23728Do you suppose you will hear anything more to- night?
23728Do you suppose your father knows anything about the Morse code?
23728Do you take it they are still cruising with the boat?
23728Do you think you will hear by nine?
23728Do you think you''ll get any message before I go to bed?
23728Does n''t the Morse Continental bother you a bit?
23728Dogs all right?
23728Everybody ready?
23728Fifteen, are you?
23728For mercy''s sake who is Mr. Burns, and why do you want to go and see him hot off the bat?
23728Four weeks, eh? 23728 Fry''em?
23728Get any of it?
23728Going to take the yacht through the Canal?
23728Gone, was it? 23728 Guess who''s here?"
23728Have n''t you another chap who can play, Dick?
23728Have they found out anything yet, sir?
23728Have you ever considered how badly we are in want of money, Walter?
23728Have you got to rush back to another job?
23728He would n''t be such an idiot as to stand by and see the dog die, would he?
23728He would not need to be gone more than one night, would he?
23728How could she run away, even if she had a mind to, with the gate locked?
23728How did he learn?
23728How many foreign countries can talk with us?
23728How old is he?
23728How would you like to be nursemaid to six or eight brainless little pups no bigger than rats? 23728 I can understand all that; but are n''t there a score of other regulations?"
23728I do n''t imagine it is right, do you?
23728I say, Mr. Burns,burst out Walter,"are you terribly busy?
23728I suppose O''Connel understands this difficulty, does n''t he?
23728I suppose transmitting is a great deal harder than receiving anyhow, is n''t it?
23728I suppose you let out on O''Connel, did n''t you, after he got through talking this morning?
23728I wonder if he will have any tidings for us?
23728I''m afraid----"What?
23728I''m crazy to get tidings, are n''t you?
23728If you do that, wo n''t the whole affair have to be aired and Mr. Daly dragged into the trial?
23728Is all the general transmission of messages given such care?
23728Is it he?
23728Is it so hard?
23728Is n''t it almost time for O''Connel to signal?
23728Is n''t it infernal luck?
23728Is n''t something out of order?
23728Is n''t there anything we can do to hustle up the inspector?
23728Is n''t there anything we can do, Archibald? 23728 Is that Morse code hard to learn?"
23728Is this the best day you could manage to get together, Jerry?
23728It is a good proof of how one science can help another, is n''t it?
23728It is n''t time for him to call, is it?
23728It sounds simple, does n''t it?
23728It''s awful that I have to keep having so many things, is n''t it? 23728 Keep still, ca n''t you?"
23728Lola? 23728 Lola?
23728Look like? 23728 May I speak to you a moment, sir?"
23728Me? 23728 Me?"
23728My soul and body,whispered Jerry from his corner,"did anybody ever hear such a sound?
23728Never heard of it-- or, stop a minute, is n''t there a wireless station there or something?
23728News, Bob?
23728No more of them missing?
23728Not a reference of any sort?
23728Not much like the navigation of the old days, is it?
23728Now where do you wish to put us, Dick?
23728Off Gloucester, eh, and bound north? 23728 Oh, the kennels, you mean?
23728Oh, the young chap who is going to look after the dogs?
23728Old or young?
23728Penalty?
23728Provoke him? 23728 Quite some adventure, eh?"
23728Richard? 23728 Say, who are you, anyway?
23728Shall you be back for the wireless lesson?
23728She''s not at the kennels?
23728She? 23728 So Daly has a place down on Long Island, has he?"
23728So it is you who are to be master of the kennels?
23728So that is all there is to it, eh?
23728So the men just suit themselves, eh?
23728So the ships themselves are not allowed to take up their own quarrel if they are challenged?
23728So you think you can take care of a lot of prize pups, do you?
23728Sometimes it is necessary----"To wait? 23728 Surely you do n''t mean to start Walter in learning about wireless, do you?"
23728That would n''t do for you, eh?
23728The Morse Continental? 23728 The boss?"
23728The circuit?
23728The lead in?
23728The money? 23728 The question is, could we set it up if we had it?"
23728The sending part of the machine is more complicated, is it?
23728The_ Siren_, eh?
23728Then what do you say next?
23728Then why not to- day?
23728Then why not whiffle round now and just for a change be prepared for the best?
23728Then you think there is nothing more to be done at present but sit right here and see what happens?
23728They?
23728Think this will suit your Highness?
23728Those are our trans- Atlantic stations, are n''t they?
23728Tinkering with those wires, you mean?
23728Use? 23728 Walter?"
23728Want me to come out, do you? 23728 Want to come in with us as shortstop?"
23728Want to hear it?
23728Want to see''em?
23728Was n''t there a boy around here somewhere this morning with the dogs? 23728 Well, Ma, you have n''t had to lie awake worrying because I was too good for this world, have you?"
23728Well, after you have given the true bearing the ship wires: Q T F."And that means?
23728Well, what are you waiting for?
23728Well, what''s the matter with that?
23728Well,began he, when he was within calling distance,"any news yet?"
23728Well-- are you?
23728Well-- well-- what are you going to do with me?
23728Well?
23728Well?
23728Were you ever stationed at one?
23728What are you going to do now?
23728What are you going to do?
23728What did he say about it?
23728What did he say? 23728 What did they look like?"
23728What do you mean by_ able to hear at all_?
23728What do you mean, Ma?
23728What do you mean, Mater?
23728What do you mean?
23728What do you say we go over and fool round with the radio a while?
23728What do you suppose they''ll do now?
23728What do you think we are up here?
23728What else could he do?
23728What experience have you had with radio, pray?
23728What for? 23728 What happens if you call a station and nobody answers?"
23728What have you been doing?
23728What if you have n''t? 23728 What in the name of goodness----?"
23728What in thunder do you suppose has become of him?
23728What is a commercial station?
23728What is it? 23728 What is it?
23728What is it? 23728 What is it?"
23728What is that thing they are putting in place now?
23728What on earth are you talking about?
23728What on earth has struck you, you giant?
23728What time is it? 23728 What you up to anyhow?"
23728What''s a Q T E?
23728What''s money if all the kids in town are going to josh you?
23728What''s that, Bob?
23728What''s that?
23728What''s that?
23728What?
23728When can you come?
23728When shall you want me?
23728When there''s wrecks, you mean?
23728Where did you get this?
23728Where did you learn to play ball, young one?
23728Where did you pick up so much knowledge?
23728Where do you suppose it is?
23728Where is it?
23728Where was you fetched up, man? 23728 Where will they be?"
23728Where''s the brush?
23728Who are you, young man?
23728Who can tell?
23728Who has the big chore of following up all these people and making certain that they are conforming to the law?
23728Who is for a swim? 23728 Who will join me?"
23728Who''s going to catch for the Crimson team?
23728Who, I should like to know?
23728Why did n''t I think of him before?
23728Why do n''t you, Sis?
23728Why in thunder could n''t you keep still? 23728 Wo n''t he what, my dear?"
23728Wondered?
23728You ca n''t sail out of reach of Uncle Sam, eh? 23728 You could identify him, could n''t you, Bob?"
23728You could n''t remain over a few days and overhaul my yacht, could you? 23728 You could n''t stretch it to two?"
23728You do n''t suppose anything has happened to Lola, do you?
23728You do n''t, eh?
23728You have n''t seen Lola, have you, Jerry?
23728You have? 23728 You just thought it was a cheap sort of a position and that I was to race round and make it pleasant for a lot of ordinary curs, did n''t you?"
23728You mean about what they shall and shall not do?
23728You mean to say it''s just in here?
23728You need n''t repeat all of it, need you?
23728You think, do n''t you, that we will hear something definite this morning?
23728You wish to see me?
23728You would n''t?
23728You would think they were frying doughnuts,grinned Dick,"would n''t you?"
23728You''d like having him here then?
23728You''ll be getting paid for it, wo n''t you-- well paid? 23728 You''ll fry these flounders for supper, wo n''t you, Ma?"
23728You''re not sick?
23728You''re sure your father wo n''t mind our taking the car?
23728You''ve no inkling whether the developments he mentioned are to be soon or not?
23728Your brother? 23728 _ Bob?_"Mr. Crowninshield nodded.
23728_ What is my position?_"And you have to repeat those words before giving it just as you did before?
23728_ What is my position?_"And you have to repeat those words before giving it just as you did before?
23728_ What?_"This job about Lola is nothing to do with you, my son. 23728 ( What was the use of telling him that? 23728 All he said was:_ Wait developments._"Not a word about Lola?
23728And even if they did appear like ordinary mortals were there not their myriad disguises?
23728And he can really send and receive messages?"
23728And how has he contrived to escape from the yacht without being held up?
23728And if beneath this worthy motive lurked a certain desire to see whatever there was to be seen, who can say his curiosity was not pardonable?
23728And if such a result was accomplished had not the owner of Surfside promised that he would never forget the service?
23728And suppose he heard a dot too much and did n''t get the thing the other fellow was trying to tell him straight?"
23728And that other thing?"
23728And who would I be frying clams for?"
23728Are n''t we doing all we can?
23728Are you clean starved?
23728But do be careful, wo n''t you?
23728But suppose Bob had told already and harm was done?
23728Ca n''t one of the chauffeurs take us down there?"
23728Ca n''t we drum him up?"
23728Can any one tell?"
23728Chuck them over on the floor for me, wo n''t you?"
23728Crowninshield?"
23728Crowninshield?"
23728Crowninshield?"
23728Dacie and Lyman traced the car that carried Lola as far as Buzzard''s Bay and discovered that there----""Yes?"
23728Did n''t the chap come into the station to get water for his machine?"
23728Did n''t you hear what Peters said?"
23728Did you hear that?"
23728Did you know that?
23728Did you tell Mr. Crowninshield about it?"
23728Did you think Mr. Crowninshield picked me out himself?
23728Did you want me?"
23728Do be watchful of your shoes and use them carefully, wo n''t you, for they cost a mint of money?
23728Do n''t their powerful currents damage the receiving sets in stations near them?
23728Do n''t you recall my mentioning such coastal stations?"
23728Do they do that too?"
23728Do you just keep on calling as you do at the telephone?"
23728Do you know whether he has done anything yet or not?"
23728Do you see that?"
23728Do you suppose I want you lost in a fog and never heard from again?"
23728Do you suppose O''Connel has kidnapped Lola; or how has he got possession of her?
23728Do you suppose if he got it we could rig it up together?"
23728Do you understand?
23728Do you want Daly to smell a rat and toss his stolen property into the sea?
23728Does it make any sense at all?"
23728Fired from your job?"
23728Funny, ai n''t it?"
23728Got something to show me?"
23728Have you asked Jerry or Tim?"
23728He went so fast----Did you get anything?"
23728How did you get here, old top?
23728How have you kept that promise?
23728How long is it going to keep up like this?"
23728How will that do?"
23728Hurry, ca n''t you?"
23728I do n''t have to sign up to a creed like that, though, if I do n''t want to, do I?"
23728I guess it took some nerve to come up here and tell me this, did n''t it?"
23728If they are going to put you ashore at Boston to buy supplies, why would n''t it be a good plan for you to take the dog to the animal hospital there?
23728In the meantime our complaint can be lodged against them and----""Are n''t we to have the fun of jailing them after all?"
23728Infernal, is n''t it?"
23728Instead of piping,"Hi, Mr. Crowninshield, did you find out anything?"
23728Is n''t it the limit that we have n''t brains enough to get O''Connel?"
23728Is she here?"
23728Is the dog there?
23728It is a foolish habit, is n''t it?
23728It was queer they should do it to- day, was n''t it?"
23728Like dogs?"
23728Listen in?"
23728Meet me, O''Con_----''Where in thunder you goin?"
23728O''Connel thinks she is n''t well?
23728O''Connel?"
23728O''Connel?"
23728On reaching the veranda he found his class assembled and the first comment to reach his ears was:"No news from O''Connel, eh?"
23728One of the Vanderbilts?"
23728Open a window, ca n''t you?"
23728Or another member of the audience would call:"Was you reckonin''you''d have enough paint in that keg to finish your yawl, Eddie?
23728Or suppose they were to be stolen?
23728Really?"
23728Say, Ma, what do you s''pose?
23728So he is at home sometimes?"
23728So you and the men have been here all the afternoon?"
23728Some other dog taken it?"
23728Still, why should you mind?
23728Suppose he was not able to hold the job at Surfside once it was his?
23728Suppose some of the little wretches were to run away and get lost?
23728That''s fair, ai n''t it?"
23728The place is like an oven, is n''t it?
23728Then on observing his father was unwontedly excited he repeated,"What''s up, Dad?"
23728They''re beauties, are n''t they?
23728Was ever sky so cloudless, grass so vividly green, or ocean so sparkling?
23728Was n''t he always at the head of his class?
23728Was n''t it infernal luck to encounter this delay?
23728Was there not his pay envelope to compensate him?
23728Well, Pater, what was it?"
23728What are we going to do?"
23728What are we in the world for?"
23728What are you doing, man?
23728What are you going to do?"
23728What are you so scrimpin''of it for?
23728What do I care for that?
23728What do I wish to go tramping over the country again for?"
23728What do you say to that?"
23728What do you say we let well enough alone and drop it?"
23728What do you say?"
23728What do you suppose is in the wind?"
23728What do you think of that?
23728What do you want to say?"
23728What does it say?"
23728What good could he do?
23728What has that got to do with it?"
23728What if he were to fail in those final exams?
23728What is it?"
23728What is the use of digging up that old bone again?
23728What makes you think they are?"
23728What more can we ask?
23728What on earth is the matter?"
23728What then?
23728What time will your show begin?"
23728What was it all about?
23728What would she be doing round here, I''d like to know?"
23728What would_ he_ say-- that was the question?
23728What you after, young one?
23728What''s been happening in my absence, anyhow?"
23728What''s come over this generation anyway?"
23728What''s got you, old man?
23728What''s the matter with you?
23728What''s the use of fighting a skunk like that?
23728When, however, he had finished, Bob''s crisp tones came singing over the wire:"You went out to walk about three, you say?"
23728Where else could she be?"
23728Where they were now, who could tell?
23728Where was the yacht?"
23728Which is the better way?
23728Who could tell?
23728Who knows?"
23728Who would I be patching torn trousers or darning ripped sweaters for if you were like Bob, I''d like to know?
23728Who''d be pestering me to hunt up his cap and mittens?
23728Why borrow trouble?
23728Why could n''t I just sit here on the piazza?
23728Why did n''t you tell me more about this family paragon of yours?
23728Why did you have to run hot- footed to the telephone the first thing?
23728Why gratify it?"
23728Why in goodness did they build the station there?"
23728Why must you always be wanting to go to sea to earn money?"
23728Why need Mr. Crowninshield know anything about it?
23728Why should he care?"
23728Why, their chattering seemed to be endless?
23728Why?
23728Why?"
23728Will Burns be at the station now?"
23728Will it be that bad?"
23728Wondering where your boss was, eh?
23728Would the talkers never stop?
23728Would you really put your entire attention on those dogs so that other people could drop them from their minds?
23728You have n''t seen Lola, have you?"
23728You know how they always roll up a coat or something and stuff it under drowned persons''shoulders to throw their head backward?
23728You know how to lay a fire, do n''t you?"
23728You may be useful, who knows?"
23728You recall that at the beginning I mentioned the pitch, note, or key of the sound produced or received?"
23728_ What was that?_""It is some one on our line.
41185A Moorish costume would be a jolly good disguise one day, would n''t it? 41185 A man?
41185A very intelligent and delightful woman, is n''t she? 41185 Ah?"
41185And I suppose you intend to blackmail me-- eh?
41185And if you married this girl, do you think you would be happy, Gordon?
41185And it is distinctly understood that if gems be found and a company formed that I get one- eighth share?
41185And now will it really work?
41185And she has never mentioned me?
41185And the future, dad?
41185And the name in which the concession is to be granted?
41185And then, dad?
41185And then?
41185And was there no other reason, Elma?
41185And were you successful?
41185And what is that, Mr Rutherford?
41185And what''ave you been up to''ere-- eh?
41185And what''s the latest about young Homfray?
41185And when will monsieur and madame be back?
41185And who''s going to be my executioner, pray?
41185And who, pray, was this Mr Willard?
41185And you know the identity of the person whom you allege killed your lover-- eh?
41185And you really love me?
41185And you will desert me for that slip of a girl-- eh, Gordon?
41185And you will form a company in London to work the mines-- eh?
41185And you''ll do it, wo n''t you?
41185And you''re young to die like a rat in a hole?
41185And-- well, now let me at once be frank with you, Roddy: have you ever in your life heard the name of Gordon Gray?
41185Are they at Farncombe?
41185Are you quite certain he will not come and see me?
41185Are you quite certain of that?
41185Are you quite sure it was my son?
41185Are you quite sure?
41185As long as his son lives, whether idiot or not, he''ll keep his mouth closed for his own sake, depend upon it?
41185At Mr Sandys''?
41185At the usual place at nine to- morrow night-- eh?
41185Bertram Harrison?
41185But I really ought not to do it?
41185But at least you can tell me the dead girl''s name?
41185But ca n''t it be managed without your marriage to Elma?
41185But ca n''t we close the old man''s mouth and trust to luck with his son? 41185 But how did it get into the papers, sir?"
41185But how have you been feeling to- day? 41185 But how, Freda?"
41185But in this matter we are very serious-- both of us-- eh?
41185But is it really right?
41185But surely our present game is not one against war profits?
41185But surely that is no evidence of what you allege?
41185But surely they found the poor girl, father?
41185But tell me, Mr Homfray, what was she like? 41185 But the girl, Elma Sandys?
41185But what has your father to do with it? 41185 But why?
41185But why?
41185But would you really come back?
41185But you did n''t do it-- eh?
41185But, dad, what are we to do? 41185 But, my dear child, how can it be?
41185But-- but,she added in a low voice,"you are going away to Morocco?"
41185By jove, miss?
41185By whom? 41185 Can she possibly be the girl whom I saw dead in Welling Wood?"
41185Did what?
41185Did you find any of your basement windows open when you got up this morning?
41185Did you hear my mate shouting a moment ago, sir?
41185Did you see Milly?
41185Do me a favour, will you? 41185 Do you doubt this morning that I am in my sane senses?
41185Do you know anything of Mr Harrison?
41185Do you mean the Wad Sus mines?
41185Do you really think she is? 41185 Do you think so?
41185Do you want to see me, dad?
41185Does she?
41185Edna Manners?
41185Elma is away, is n''t she?
41185Elma will be here at ten, and we''ll go together-- alone-- you do n''t mind, father?
41185Ever been there, Mr Sandys?
41185Freda Crisp? 41185 Freda Crisp?"
41185Freda is an awfully good friend of mine?
41185Freda? 41185 From Gordon Gray--_you_?"
41185Happy? 41185 Has he gone?"
41185Has he really?
41185Has she ever asked about this place-- about Little Farncombe-- or about myself?
41185Has she ever been down here?
41185Has the old man told him about us?
41185Have you got the map?
41185Have you seen this concession given to your friend, Mr Homfray? 41185 Have you?"
41185He said he would be leaving Little Farncombe very soon, did he?
41185Homfray, you are a fool?
41185How can I ever forget? 41185 How could you be otherwise, after what has passed?"
41185How dare you come here?
41185How did you come by her photograph?
41185How do I know? 41185 How do we know that?
41185How?
41185How?
41185Hulloa, Miss Sandys?
41185I beg pardon, madame,he said in good French,"but I believe you have a Mademoiselle Grayson living with you?"
41185I do n''t like the look of things?
41185I suppose Mr Sandys must be very rich?
41185I suppose you are aware that old Sandys has a firm of inquiry agents out looking for her?
41185I take it that you are deeply interested in the young lady who is missing?
41185I think we can dismiss all these dramatic allegations made by poor mademoiselle-- can we not? 41185 I want to win the bet, and I''ll give you half?"
41185I wonder how he came to be lying on the tow- path at the foot of Whitchurch Bridge? 41185 I wonder if Elma will believe me?"
41185I wonder where Roddy can possibly be?
41185If he knew the truth concerning that slip in my past what would he think of me? 41185 In any case, miss, I think I ought to telegraph to Guildford that a young man answering the description is here, do n''t you think so?"
41185In what circumstances?
41185In what direction?
41185Is it not his place to be here after writing you that letter concerning the concession? 41185 Is it one that I may not know?"
41185Is my surmise correct?
41185Is your head better?
41185It''s awfully early, I know, but between business men the hour, early or late, does n''t really count-- does it? 41185 It''s through?"
41185Just repeat all you said, Roddy, will you?
41185Last Wednesday you were not in London, were you?
41185Let''s listen for a moment before we go-- eh? 41185 Listen, old thing?"
41185Look here, is it to be war to the end between us? 41185 Looking?
41185May I walk with you?
41185My daughter? 41185 Never?"
41185Not at hometo him?
41185Not of the same mines-- ancient ones, from which one big dark- coloured emerald has quite recently been taken? 41185 Now what is your name, and how did you come here?"
41185Now,went on the old man,"I will give you this map, Monsieur Barclay, but I will keep the emerald to repay myself for the expenses of my agent-- eh?
41185Of what nature?
41185Of what?
41185Peril? 41185 Possibly you can induce Mr Sandys to finance the undertaking and float a company-- eh?"
41185Really, dad, you do n''t seem to like her, eh?
41185Really?
41185Sank? 41185 So old Sandys is employing him?"
41185So you''ve come to your senses again-- eh? 41185 So you''ve had luck-- eh?"
41185Speak to him at once, dear?
41185Tell me what has happened?
41185The man Harrison?
41185Then why do you not tell who she was? 41185 Then why have neither of you given information to the police?"
41185Then you are not absolutely certain it was Roddy?
41185Then you can see at last-- eh?
41185Then you did have a curious adventure, eh? 41185 There was no reason why he should not return home, I suppose?"
41185There''s nothing here, is there?
41185These people want a lot of moss scraping off them, do n''t they-- eh?
41185Things that you wish to forget-- eh, Mr Homfray?
41185This Mr Homfray is your friend, I take it?
41185To that young fellow Homfray, I believe?
41185Watching us? 41185 Well, Jim?"
41185Well, do n''t you know that there''s an apparatus invented by two clever Italians, Bellini and Tosi, which is called a direction- finder?
41185Well, how did it work?
41185Well, look here, Roddy, after leaving Miss Sandys, did you meet anyone else-- a man in the Guildford road?
41185Well, she''s always most charming to me?
41185Well, sir, have you anything particularly valuable on the premises here? 41185 Well, what''s the trouble now?"
41185Well,he asked with dignity,"why are you here?"
41185Well-- and what then?
41185Well-- what you tell me, my boy, utterly staggers me?
41185Well?
41185What about Freda?
41185What about the young pup?
41185What are you saying?
41185What can Elma think of my silence? 41185 What can I do?
41185What can I do?
41185What can he know about Hugh?
41185What can it all mean?
41185What connexion has that with the disappearance of the pretty Edna?
41185What did she say?
41185What do you mean?
41185What if Roddy knew-- what if those fiends told him? 41185 What is the matter?"
41185What kind of man?
41185What luck, Dick? 41185 What makes him suspect it?
41185What''s that?
41185What''s that?
41185What''s the fool''s name?
41185What''s the news at Little Farncombe-- eh? 41185 What, am I still in peril?"
41185What-- what do you mean?
41185What? 41185 What?
41185What?
41185What?
41185What?
41185When does the old Moor leave?
41185When shall you start putting up the wireless, Mr Homfray?
41185When you came home, was the front- door locked?
41185Where does she live?
41185Where was she last seen?
41185Where''s Jimmie?
41185Who knows?
41185Who''s Tubby?
41185Whom do you call an assassin?
41185Why are you so inquisitive about her?
41185Why ca n''t we arrange matters? 41185 Why do you dare to come here?
41185Why does Gray send you here? 41185 Why does he search when I know that she died in my arms?"
41185Why not? 41185 Why should he send you to me?"
41185Why should she be? 41185 Why, what''s the matter?"
41185Why, where have you sprung from? 41185 Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Will Your Excellency allow me to present him?
41185Will she believe that letter I wrote her regarding the Wad Sus concession? 41185 Wo n''t Gray come here himself and talk over the matter?"
41185Would it be a very difficult affair to fit up a set here?
41185Would the bishop have believed you?
41185Yet, after all, ought I to do so?
41185You are a great traveller, I believe-- are you not? 41185 You are quite certain that you did not stop and speak with any stranger in the Guildford road?"
41185You came over by air, I suppose?
41185You have no idea where she lives, I suppose?
41185You heard nothing?
41185You knew her personally?
41185You refuse to satisfy my curiosity-- eh?
41185You surely do n''t suspect that something tragic has happened to him-- for instance, that he has met with foul play?
41185You will, I hope, help me-- eh?
41185You would recognise the girl again, Roddy?
41185You''re a very nice, delightful parson-- eh? 41185 You''re quite certain you took the right key?"
41185_ But where is Edna_? 41185 3.A.X.? 41185 A deep harsh voice was heard-- a Voice from Nowhere-- which asked slowly and very distinctly:Who was that who is interested in 3.X.Q.?
41185A fine moral leader you are, Norton?"
41185A little brandy-- perhaps?"
41185All right, I hope?"
41185Am I so good- looking and such an Adonis-- eh?"
41185And Freda?
41185And did not Elma hold the photograph of the girl Edna, whom he had discovered in Welling Wood?
41185And the Sandys are away in town, are n''t they?"
41185And the man?
41185And what would your dear son think of all your past adventures-- eh?"
41185And why should I be attacked and drugged so that I nearly became insane?
41185And why should I have been taken away unconscious and kept so for several days, and then conveyed to the river bank here at Whitchurch?"
41185And yet why had he so suddenly gone to Farncombe for one night and then taken train to Guildford and disappeared?
41185And you know to much of the affair as I do?"
41185And you will afterwards lunch with me at Voisin''s-- eh?"
41185And-- and what did she say about me?"
41185Any news?"
41185Anything else?"
41185Are you Miss Elma Sandys?"
41185Are you Mr Homfray?"
41185Are you in London for long?"
41185Are you positive that the woman is actually on friendly terms with Mr Sandys?"
41185As the young man smoked, he reflected, until at last he suddenly said:"Have n''t you finished your work, father?
41185Attend to this?"
41185Believe me, Freda, it must?"
41185Besides, I understood that Gordon Gray died in New York last year, and--""And you thought that by that fact you would escape your indebtedness-- eh?"
41185Besides, had not Mr Sandys told him that it was most important to him that the young lady''s fate should be ascertained?
41185But Freda''s a wonder, is n''t she?"
41185But I recollect that house-- the man and the woman and-- and how she compelled me to do her bidding to--""To what?"
41185But are you quite certain of this, Roddy?
41185But by whom?
41185But how came you to know about it?"
41185But how could the detective have possibly known that?"
41185But how did they come to Welling Wood at all?"
41185But how is he obtaining the concession?"
41185But let''s hope for the best-- eh, Freda?"
41185But of what use was it?
41185But what else?"
41185But what hand could they have had in the death of an unknown girl in the woods at the rear of the Rectory?
41185But where can he be?"
41185But where did you see her to- night?"
41185But where was Roddy Homfray?
41185But where was he?
41185But where?
41185But who was she?
41185But why did they make that secret attack upon you, if not in order to injure me?"
41185But why should he come here, as though risen from the grave?
41185But why,"asked the rector angrily,"why should these people trouble themselves over my private affairs?
41185But why?
41185But why?
41185But why?"
41185But would she ever receive that message tossed at haphazard from that barred high- up window-- tossed into the air or upon the water?
41185C.Q.?
41185Ca n''t I get you something?
41185Can I relay any message, Freda?"
41185Can you hear me, 3.X.Q.?
41185Can you never love me?"
41185Cheer up now, wo n''t you, dearest?
41185Could Roddy have been speaking with Gordon Gray?
41185Could he have lain there for some days in a state of semi- consciousness?
41185Could it be Freda Crisp who had been indicated?
41185Could it be possible that she was Elma''s enemy also?
41185Could it be really true that his concession only existed in his own imagination?
41185Could it have been to that house he had been taken?
41185Could you ever trust him?"
41185Could you manage to instal one for me, do you think?"
41185Did she die?"
41185Did you get that 3.B.L., Liverpool?
41185Do n''t pose as a saint?"
41185Do n''t you realise that not a word must ever leak out about young Willard?
41185Do n''t you remember?"
41185Do not believe him?"
41185Do you doubt that which I have just said, Elma-- do you doubt that I love you?"
41185Do you hear them-- three shorts and one long?"
41185Do you hear?
41185Do you intend that an-- an accident shall happen to him-- eh?"
41185Do you know her?
41185Do you know her?"
41185Do you recognise it?"
41185Do you recollect that night in Cannes two years ago?
41185Do you understand that?"
41185Do you want to be jugged?
41185Each holiday brings us money-- one holiday more or one less-- what matters?
41185Ever heard of it?"
41185Fancy discovering emeralds?"
41185Forget him?
41185Freda Crisp would never have the_ entree_ there?"
41185From what?
41185From whom?
41185Good- night?"
41185Had he had faults in his past life, his son wondered?
41185Had his captors condemned him to death by starvation?
41185Had she left Bayeux of her own accord, or had she been enticed away?
41185Had that sudden fit of jealousy been assumed on purpose to effect a breach?
41185Had the girl Edna Manners been taken there also?
41185Had the woman and her companion left?
41185Had they done some of their devil''s work upon his beloved son?
41185Had they taken fright and flown?
41185Has it anything to do with that woman Freda Crisp you told me about?
41185Have n''t I told you I walked straight home?
41185Have they not been so for five years?
41185Have you got it?"
41185Have you got that, 3.A.X.?
41185Have you heard from Arthur to- day?"
41185Have you paid all the tradesmen''s books?"
41185How am I to know?
41185How could I possibly become that man''s wife?"
41185How did you come to know her?"
41185How do you know his Christian name?
41185How do you know?"
41185How many days have I been here, I wonder?"
41185How shall I act?"
41185How was she faring?
41185How''s Paris looking?"
41185Hughes, the grave- faced old butler, opened the door softly, and asked:"Shall you be wanting anything more to- night, sir?"
41185Hulloa, Birmingham?
41185Hulloa?"
41185I expect he saw the red light, eh?"
41185I hope you liked what I gave you for attacking me, young man?"
41185I suppose he''s back by this time?"
41185I suppose you meet with all sorts of adventures?"
41185I wonder if this Harley Street chap has twigged our game, Jim?"
41185I wonder if you would honour me with your presence?
41185I wonder what they gave him?
41185I wonder who he can be?
41185I''ll look in and see you to- morrow morning-- about this time-- eh?"
41185I''m in a pretty pickle-- as you see-- eh?
41185If so, what could have prevented the assassin and his friends-- for there must have been more than one person-- removing the evidence of their crime?"
41185If so, will you look in and see me about noon in Lombard Street?"
41185Is Freda coming?
41185Is it just to the public that a man such as yourself should dare to wear a surplice and have the audacity to preach sermons?"
41185Is n''t she awfully jolly?"
41185Is she-- dead?"
41185Is that so?"
41185Is there no stamp, with date?"
41185It would n''t do, Gordon, would it?
41185It''s all surmise-- and what does that matter?
41185Listen, you madwoman?"
41185Lovely, is n''t she?"
41185Luck-- eh?"
41185May I call you by your Christian name?"
41185May I come in?"
41185Mr Gray wants to know whether you intend paying?"
41185Of what?"
41185On that night you walked home with Miss Sandys-- eh?
41185Or will you consider a little proposition I have in mind?
41185Perhaps you will like a copy?
41185Peril?
41185Presently she excused herself from her two friends, saying:"You''ll forgive me if I have just this one dance with Mr Gray-- won''t you?"
41185See?"
41185Shall you be in London to- morrow?
41185She told me she was very interested in it, and possibly she has heard that I''m an experimenter-- eh?"
41185Should he watch for the departure of the woman?
41185So trust me?"
41185Surely Sir Charles has n''t actually ruined you?"
41185Surely such a man is not suited to you as a husband, Miss Elma?
41185Surely you can trust me in this-- eh?
41185Surely you can trust me?"
41185Tell me, what do you know?"
41185That ca n''t be?"
41185That little bit of gun- running helping the Moors against the Spanish was exciting enough-- was n''t it?"
41185That looks as though the drug has been spotted-- eh?"
41185That man here again?"
41185That relieves us of a great deal of worry, does n''t it?"
41185That wireless is going to be a big use to us in the near future, eh?"
41185That''s a little awkward, is n''t it?"
41185The daughter of Mr Purcell Sandys who has just bought Farncombe Towers?"
41185The whole affair was unusual, was n''t it?
41185Then I will come here to- morrow-- shall we say at eleven?
41185Then he asked:"What is this strange story?"
41185Then he''s already recognised you-- eh?"
41185Then she called across to him:"I say, dad, what do you know about Bertram Harrison-- Freda Crisp''s friend?"
41185Then she imagines me to be somebody named Porter-- eh?"
41185Then suddenly she added:"But why should I tell you this when you yourself are a friend of the woman Crisp, and of Gordon Gray?"
41185Then we could listen to the wireless concerts, the broadcasting of news, and all that goes on in the ether-- eh?"
41185Then when his visitor was in the room, he turned to him and said:"So you have carried out your threat, Gray, and sold my houses in Totnes-- eh?
41185Then you think that the concession for the emerald prospecting may be worth money?"
41185Then, turning to the woman, he remarked:"This is Miss Grayson, I suppose?"
41185Therefore why is he not here?"
41185To where?
41185Was he speaking to the dead?
41185Was he, after all, growing tired of her?
41185Was his mind wandering, or was there some grain of truth in those misty, horrifying recollections?
41185Was it possible that Gray had told Roddy the truth, and the latter had gone off with his father''s enemy?
41185Was it really possible, as Rutherford had suggested, that he was in hiding, not daring to come forward now that his lie was proved?
41185Was it yet another failure?
41185We both of us know Morocco-- eh, Jimmie?
41185We sincerely hope not, eh?
41185We''ve departed upon lots of holidays-- haven''t we, Dick?
41185Well, what do you intend to do?"
41185Were those circumstances his meeting with Gordon Gray for the first time that night?
41185What are you thinking of, Jimmie?"
41185What are you trying to make out?"
41185What can be her game?
41185What can he know?"
41185What can it mean?"
41185What can the old clergyman know?
41185What connexion could there be with the City magnate and the girl whom he had believed was dead, but who was certainly still alive?
41185What could be the reason of such an attitude?
41185What could have happened that he had not returned as usual to supper after church?
41185What could possibly have occurred to prevent him from carrying out his intention?"
41185What day is it to- day?"
41185What devil''s work was there in progress that night, father?"
41185What did I tell you?
41185What did it all mean?
41185What did you say?"
41185What do you know of her?
41185What do you mean?"
41185What do you think?"
41185What do you want?"
41185What does he intend to do?"
41185What fresh mystery is there here?
41185What had been her fate?
41185What has become of her?"
41185What has she to do with our propositions?"
41185What have I done?"
41185What hitch could have occurred?
41185What indeed, reflected the old man, except perhaps that he met Gordon Gray and perhaps left for London with him?
41185What man has not?
41185What more do you want?"
41185What the deuce are you doing?"
41185What the devil do you mean?"
41185What then?"
41185What then?"
41185What was happening to the girl he loved so dearly?
41185What was she doing in Welling Wood, just off the beaten path, at that hour?
41185What would his son Roddy think if he learnt the truth concerning that closed chapter of his father''s past?
41185What would she think?
41185What would the parish of Little Farncombe say if they knew that their respected rector had fallen among thieves?
41185What''s happened?"
41185What, he wondered, had happened?
41185What?"
41185What?"
41185When he slept, exhausted, his food was renewed-- by whose hands?
41185When is Mr Ford returning to France?"
41185When shall I see Barclay?"
41185When?"
41185Where are the traces?"
41185Where can my boy be?"
41185Where do I come in?"
41185Where does this man Barclay live?"
41185Where is she?
41185Where was Roddy?
41185Where was Roddy?
41185Where?"
41185Who are you, Freda?
41185Who could contest your right to the concession?
41185Who could she be to be in Welling Wood at that hour?"
41185Who could?"
41185Who died?"
41185Who has he called in?"
41185Who is he?"
41185Who is it who feeds me when I am unconscious?
41185Who knows?
41185Who knows?
41185Who was she?
41185Who?"
41185Why did Barclay wish to see him so urgently?
41185Why did my own father warn me of the pair?
41185Why did she come?
41185Why do you ask?"
41185Why had he not produced the concession he alleged he had?
41185Why is he here in Little Farncombe, I wonder?"
41185Why should Mr Sandys demand from him the secret of his discovery of the girl in Welling Wood?
41185Why should his father have warned him against her?
41185Why should his own father have held back from him the truth?
41185Why should the Press obtrude upon his anxiety?
41185Why the devil do n''t you keep a better fire than this?"
41185Why was I not here to assist him, instead of playing bridge?
41185Why was he there in Bayeux?
41185Why was she going south also-- but not by the same train?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?
41185Why?"
41185Why?"
41185Why?"
41185Will you go to Marseilles?
41185Would Elma receive his message and come to his rescue?
41185Would Monsieur and Madame Nicole do so?
41185Would she be able to get the transmission set to work?
41185Would she ever get his message of distress?
41185Would she remember the exact instructions he had given her?
41185You could pose as an Algerian fruit merchant, or something of the sort, while they''d be looking for the Englishman, Dick Allen?"
41185You see, it is still rough and uncut, yet is it not magnificent in size?"
41185You told me once that she dances well, did n''t you?
41185You''ve been there several days; what have you discovered?"
41185Your father was a rather secretive man, I believe, was n''t he, Roddy?"
41185cried Elma breathlessly,"are you there?"
41185my dear Roddy?"
41185the-- the brutes-- they forced me to-- to do something-- to--""To do what?"
41185those German chemists are devilish clever-- aren''t they?
41185well, I thought she might be a little inquisitive-- that''s all?"
41185what would he think of the other side of his father''s life?
41185when shall I learn the truth of all this-- when shall I be able to explain it all to Elma?
41185you know Freda, do you?"
41185you know something-- something very private, eh?"
