It was simpler, and besides that his experience with an airship helped wonderfully. Dave was winning golden opinions from his employers. The way in which he had dosed the Kewaukee contract had pleased them immensely. There was another end to the Kewaukee episode that had brought heaps of satisfaction to all of them, especially to Hiram Dobbs.
All hands were in fine high spirits. It was several days after the wild night race Dave and Hiram had made to Kewaukee. Now the entire party were on their way to the borders of the lake, where the new hydroplane made by the Interstate Aviation Company was ready for a trial trip.
"Have you a Kewaukee directory here?" he asked. The clerk pushed a bulky volume across the marble slab of the counter, with the words: "Anybody special you are looking up?" "Why, yes," replied Dave, "the County Fair Amusement Co." "Oh, you mean Col. Lyon's proposition," observed the clerk at once. "He runs county fair attractions all over the country." "It must be the same," said Dave.
It led to getting to Kewaukee and seeing you. There were no trains." "Roads too bad for an automobile," put in Hiram. "And we came in the Baby Racer," concluded Dave. "What's that?" exclaimed the showman. "You came all the way from Columbus in a biplane?" "Yes, sir," nodded Dave. "A night like last night " "We had to, you see," observed Hiram.
Timmins got telling us about the big sale he was going to make at Kewaukee," continued Hiram, "and how the Star Aero people were bidders for the same contract, you warned him against the Dawsons, and the people they are working for!" "I know I did. That was because the Dawsons are stunting for the Star people." "Exactly.
Was due at Kewaukee this morning on big contract with County Fair Amusement Co. Wired Northern Hotel there, where we had forwarded all the contracts and papers, and he is not there. Find him at any expense, and get him to Kewaukee before to-morrow morning, or the Star Aero Co. will get the order. Fear some trick. This means ten thousand dollars to us."
The Baby Racer had been quickly repaired at Kewaukee, and had made a speedy return trip to Columbus. Somehow the story of how the Interstate people had outwitted the plots of the Star crowd had gotten noised around the meet. Then a class journal devoted to aeronautics printed the story. "Well," Hiram had come to Mr. King's hangar that morning to say, "the Dawson crowd are simply squelched.
Timmins. You know he here night before last and left us then?" "Yes, Hiram, to go to Kewaukee." "Well, he just didn't go to Kewaukee at all." "That's no news, for this telegram shows that couldn't have done so." "You see, when Mr.
"I know Col. Lyon very well," proceeded the clerk. "He comes in here very often." "Where is his office?" inquired Dave. "I don't think he has any regular office," responded the clerk. "Two or three times a week he calls for mail at the Central Amusement Exchange. He travels a good deal has side attractions with most of the big shows." "But he lives in Kewaukee?" "Not exactly.
As he finished up with a helmet, he noticed Hiram changing his coat for a sweater. "What are you up to, Hiram," he inquired quickly. "Getting ready, of course." "Getting ready for what?" "The trip to Kewaukee." "Oh, you think you're going?" "If you are," retorted Hiram, "I know I am.
