“No, we’re not done for!” exclaimed Ned.
“Why not?”
“Because I’ll ride into Boston to-night and get the new parts!”
“But none of our machines can be run,” objected Bob.
“I’ll borrow Mr. Wakefield’s,” said Ned. “He’ll lend it to me when I tell him how the case stands!”
“Hurrah!” exclaimed Bob. “You’re the stuff Ned!”
“I doubt if you can do it,” objected Jerry. “There is no moon to-night, and the roads are hard to find.”
“I’m going to try,” insisted Ned. “Jack Pender shall not keep us out of the race if I can prevent it!”
“Well, hurry and find Mr. Wakefield,” urged Jerry. “There’s no time to lose. Bob and I will see to your machine and you can start at once.”
