Preston made the giant proposition to Tom, and before meeting Andy Foger had made special inquiries about Tom Swift. "Who are the people who have a hard feeling against this young inventor in town?" the man had asked of several persons. "Tom Swift has more friends than enemies," was the general reply. "Oh, surely he must have some enemies," the man insisted.
Sharp captured the bank robbers, and got back most of the money." "I guess I do remember it! I wish you could have seen the gang when we raided them from the clouds, in our airship!" "Well, you know Andy Foger hoped to collect the five thousand dollars reward for telling the police that you were the thief, and of course he got fooled, for you got the reward. Mr.
I don't want to be called in as a witness. I haven't the time to spare." As if the man behind the tree was aware that he had attracted the attention of our friends, he quickly turned and walked away. Tom and Ned glanced up at the Foger house, but saw nothing, and proceeded on to the store.
Dat's how I done prove it to dat Andy Foger." "Rad, you didn't tell him we were going to South America?" asked Tom reproachfully. "Suah I done so, Massa Tom. Dat were de only way t' prove t' him dat I wa'an't gittin' too old." "Oh, Rad! I'm afraid " and Tom hesitated. "Oh, I don't believe it amounted to anything," interposed Ned.

Andy had said this many times, but he had never yet succeeded in permanently getting the best of Tom. Pondering on some scheme of revenge the rich lad for Mr. Foger, his father, was quite wealthy drove on.

On their way down the lake, after the robbery, Tom, his father and Ned Newton, Tom's chum, saw a man hanging from the trapeze of a blazing balloon over Lake Carlopa. The balloonist was Mr. John Sharp and he was rescued by Tom in a thrilling fashion.
He awoke, glad to find that the latter part was not true, but wishing that some of his night vision might come to pass during the day. He started out right after breakfast, and, as usual, headed for the Foger home. He almost disliked to ask Mrs.

If you don't look out, Andy Foger, you'll have trouble with me, and at no very distant date!" Tom, with flashing eyes, and clenched fists, took a step forward. Andy shrank back.
