King," explained Dave, "but it has placed me in a position where I shall have to give up all my engagements for a time." "Why, you don't say so, Dashaway?" exclaimed the aviator, much disturbed. "Those are the orders," replied Dave. "I have hurried back to Columbus purposely, to consult on your helping in a search for the Drifter."
Randolph in a matter-of-fact tone. "We have found blood the best in our business. You have made good, Dashaway." "Thank you, sir." "Mr. King said you were the most promising aviator in the field." "Oh, he is always saying something good about me." "You proved it in your ideal work with the Baby Racer." "Who wouldn't, with any pride and that perfect machine?" challenged Dave.
Once back at the boat house, the damage shown was a slight fracture to the main girder and some of the ribs at the trailing edge, and two broken tail spars. Dave sent Hiram at once to the practice grounds to arrange about the repairs.

"Then you failed to find Mr. Dale at Warrenton?" inquired Dave.
"His coming all the way around the lakes to find his friends, the Dawsons, looks as though he had some future scheme in view, with an airship a part of it." "That's so," assented Mr. King.
