They were out of the clump of bushes now and in the roadside ditch. "You let me alone," almost screamed Andy, and in his baffled rage he rushed at Tom, aiming a blow. The young inventor quickly stepped to one side, and, as the bully passed him, Tom sent out a neat left-hander. Andy Foger went down in a heap on the grass.
You ought to hire a lawyer, Mr. Swift, and prosecute those men for slander." "Do you think it would be a good plan?" "I certainly do. Why they have no evidence at all! What does that mean, sneaking Andy Foger amount to? Get a lawyer, and have Tom's interests looked after." Mr.
Did he take his aeroplane along?" "Yes, that's what he went for. It seems that this Mr. Landbacher, the German who really invented it, and built it with money which Mr. Foger supplied, has an idea he can interest the German or some other European government in the machine. Andy wanted to go along with him, and as Mr.
Down upon the top board came a stick wielded by Andy Foger from the rear window of his shop. "Wow!" cried Ned, for the blow had been close to his fingers. "Hurry up with that ladder, Tom." "There it is! But why don't you drop?" "Too far. I can't reach the ladder now!" "Yes, you can. Stretch a bit!" "Whack!"

I jumped out after him as soon as I could, but he has disappeared." "Maybe it were th' man who done stowed hisself away on yo' airship, de time yo' all went after de diamonds," suggested the colored man. "No, it couldn't have been him. If it was anybody, it was Andy Foger, or some of his crowd. You didn't see Andy, did you, Rad?"

He skimmed over the news, thinking perhaps he might see something of the going abroad of Andy Foger with the German aeroplane, but there was nothing.

"The Mexicans or Andy Foger did this." "No, I don't think so," spoke Tom solemnly.
Up above the towering snow-covered crags it mounted, and then, with a whizz and a roar, the propellers were set going. "Once more northward bound!" cried Tom, as he took his place in the pilothouse. "And we'll see if we can beat Andy Foger there," added Ned. All that morning the RED CLOUD shot ahead at good speed.
Foger if her son had yet returned, for Andy's mother was so polite and so anxious to know whether any danger threatened that Tom hardly knew how to answer her. But he was saved that embarrassment on this occasion, for as he was going up the walk from the lake to the residence he met the gardener and from him learned that Andy had not yet come back.
