This was, in effect, and all owing to Dick, a tryst with Old Crow. He remembered every step of the way, what he might find if he could sweep off the snow or wait until June and let the mounting sun sweep it according to its own method. Here at the right would be the great patch of clintonia.
"He said that he had had to go to Florida on some government business connected with wireless, and he just got back to this part of the country yesterday," replied Bob. "He expected to be in Clintonia to-day, and said that if we were all going to be at my house to-night, he'd drop in and make us a visit." "I hope you told him that we'd be there," said Jimmy. "Of course I did," replied Bob.
"But you must remember that you boys were among the first to take up wireless in Clintonia, and at that time nobody in town had thought anything about it. I guess we didn't realize its possibilities." "It was a surprise to me when that first set that you boys made really worked," admitted Mrs. Layton. "I remember that it sounded very nice right from the start, too."
"But I know I'll be missing a fine supper at your house, and you know how I'd like to be there. I'll be back in Clintonia to-morrow, anyway." "But how are you going to travel back alone?" asked Bob. "You're not strong enough to go sailing around all by your lonesome yet." "Don't let that worry you," replied Mr. Allard.
"Clintonia is getting to be such a big town that it's easy for people to lose themselves in it. The only thing to do is hope for better luck next time. I'm mighty grateful to you fellows for trying so hard to find them, too." "Don't thank us for doing nothing," said Bob, a little ruefully. "If we had caught those rascals, it would have been different."
"After we get back to Clintonia we intend to build some big sets so that we can receive signals from all over the country." "But where do you get all the money to buy that stuff?" asked Larry. "Some of it must be pretty expensive, isn't it?" "Not as expensive as you might think, although some of the apparatus, like audion bulbs, certainly run into money," replied Bob.
"If you come to Clintonia, you can bet we'll give you the glad hand, all right," promised Bob. "I suppose we all get free passes, don't we?" with a twinkle in his eye. "You'd get all you want if Tim and I had the say-so," said Larry, "but the manager probably won't be able to see it that way." "Some day we'll have a show of our own, maybe," said Tim.
He's probably the richest man in Clintonia, but nobody ever accused him of being happy." "I should say not!" exclaimed Joe. "He goes around looking as though he had just bitten into an especially sour lemon. Everybody hates him, and I don't suppose that makes any one happy." "Maybe that does make old Abubus happy, there's no telling," said Jimmy, reflectively.
"Lots of the fellows at High have got the radio fever bad, and are out to beat us at our own game. I guess we can show them where they get off, all right, but we may have to hustle some to do it. I heard Lon Beardsley at noon to-day boasting that he was going to be the first fellow in Clintonia to receive signals from Europe.
Too well we know it, we who in happy Cambridge childhood often gathered, almost within a stone's throw of Professor Agassiz's new Museum, the arethusa and the gentian, the cardinal-flower and the gaudy rhexia, we who remember the last secret hiding-place of the rhodora in West Cambridge, of the yellow violet and the Viola debilis in Watertown, of the Convallaria trifolia near Fresh Pond, of the Hottonia beyond Wellington's Hill, of the Cornus florida in West Roxbury, of the Clintonia and the dwarf ginseng in Brookline, we who have found in its one chosen nook the sacred Andromeda polyfolia of Linnaeus.
