Gannon went through each pocket of the ragged coat once more. But it was of no use. No papers were to be found. "Come on, Laddie," said Russ in a low voice to his brother. "We'd better go back home. Good-bye!" he called over his shoulder to the red-haired lumberman. "Good-bye," answered Mr. Gannon. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I haven't your daddy's papers."
One stop was made in the coal mining regions of Pennsylvania, near Scranton, and there some fine films were obtained. In one scene Ruth and Alice were shown in the interior of a mine, with the black coal all about them. Powerful electric lights gave the necessary illumination. "I'd like to get a scene showing an explosion," said Russ, as they left the coal regions.
Rapidly he consulted a notebook, and soon had the desired information. The office of the company was not far away, and Russ and the girls were soon speeding toward it. What the next move was to be no one could say. The manager remembered the call that had come in. Two men had come with a messenger boy to engage a cab to go to the address of the machine shop.
Bunker, his wife and the children got into the auto with Jerry Simms, and started for the depot. "Now I guess we're all right," said the children's father, as he saw that the baggage was safely put on the train, including the bundle into which Margy had "wiggled" herself. "All aboard!" "That's what you called when we were playing steamboat," said Rose to Russ, as they got into the passenger car.
"And hurry!" Oh, no, you don't, Cardon thought. One chance is enough for you, Russ. He snatched the prescription from her and turned to Latterman. "I'll get it," he told the sales manager. "You're needed for the sale; stay on the job here." "But with the Literates walked out, we can't " Cardon blazed: "Do I have to teach you your business?

They were eating grass, but soon some of the woolly creatures noticed the two little fellows and stopped eating to walk toward them. "Here they come!" exclaimed Russ. "Get the sugar ready, Laddie. And there comes the old ram over from the other side of the field. Save some sugar for him." "I will," Laddie said.
"Then we can all go for a row." "And fish, too?" asked Russ. "Yes, we'll fish also," said his father. But, as it happened, Laddie got tired waiting for the boat, and made one himself. At least he made a sort of raft.
It seemed impossible that the multitude of gaily dressed belles and cavaliers, English, French, German, and Russ, who, from six in the morning until sunset, lounged and flirted on the walks, watered themselves at the fountains, and perilled their complexions in the golden sunbeams, could ever bestow themselves in the two or three middling hotels and few score shabby lodging-houses composing the town of Homburg.
Sneed, and do whatever Russ wants you to. He'll be busy with the camera so you will have to steer, and run the engine. The last won't bother you though, for it has a self-starter on and a gear clutch. You'll be in no danger." Mr. Sneed did not seem anxious to go. However, orders were orders, and members of the company, even Mr. Wellington Bunn, thought twice before refusing Mr. Pertell.
Russ and Alice reached the window at the same time. "There he is!" Alice cried. "And walking as well as any man," Russ exclaimed. "Here's where I get him!"
