They sailed over Dexter's Corners and the railroad station of Oak Run, and at the latter place nearly scared old Ricks, the stationmaster, into a fit, by swooping down close to where he was standing.

Dick also made a flight to the Marley place, and visited the Snubble homestead.
"What did you find out ?" asked Sam, when he came back from the last-named trip.
"Sobber and Crabtree have left the old mill," answered Dick.

"The Snubble boys were over there twice and they couldn't see a sign of anybody." "Have they any idea where they went to ?" asked Tom.
"No.

They said Crabtree sold the mill property." "Besser you look out for dem scalavags," was the advice from Hans.

"I vouldn't drust dem mit mine eyes open alretty!" "Oh, we're on the watch!" declared Tom.
The next day the German youth had to leave, and all the boys went down to the railroad station in the touring car to see him off.
