”Look there! Look! Quick!” suddenly interrupted To behind the carpenter in the door ”If that isn't Andy Foger, I'll eat reed Ned ”What in the world is he doing there?”
But his question was not answered, for, a moment later, Andy turned, and went inside, and the carpenter followed, closing the door behind thereed Ned ”He didn't go back after all I'd like to knohat's going on in there”
”And there's someone else ould like to know, also, I think,”
said Tom in a low voice
”Who?” asked Ned
”Thattree across the street I'er house, and when Andy came to the door that time, I happened to look around and saw that lasses on him and the carpenter”
”You don't mean it, Tom!” exclaimed Ned
”I sure do I believe that man is some sort of a spy or a detective”
”Do you think he's after Andy?”
”I don't know Let's not get mixed up in the affair, anyhow 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 are that he had attracted the attention of our friends, he quickly turned and walked away To, and proceeded on to the store
”I'll wager anything that Andy has been getting in some sort of trouble in the town he o back So he ca in his father's old house He couldhim in food Say, did you notice who that man ith the saw?”
”Yes, he's James Dillon, a carpenter who lives down on our street,”
replied Ned ”A niceto ask hi in town, and what the repairs are that he'son the house”
”Well, of course if Andy has been doing anything wrong, he wouldn't adh Mr Dillon may tell you about the carpenter work But I'm sure that man was a detective from the tohere Andy moved to You'll see”

”Well, now to see what happens!” exclai was ready for a trial flight ”I wish Mr Damon was here
I sent him word, but I didn't hear from him”
”Oh, he may show up any minute,” replied Ned, as he helped Tom and Koku wheel the newly-equipped airshi+p out of the shed ”The first thing you'll hear will be hih out, Tom?”
”No, a little more, and then head her up into the wind I say, Ned, if this is a success, and--”
Tom stopped suddenly and looked out into the road Then, in a low voice, he said, to Ned:
”Don't a sycamore tree in front of our house Ned Tellthere, Tom,” reported his chum, a little later, after a cautious observation
”I thought so What's he doing?”
