The man studied it for a few minutes, and then pointed out their best course.
"And your plane's O.K.," he added. "She certainly is a neat little boat."

"And have you had any word from Mr. Mackay?" asked Louise.

"He didn't say anything about the detectives?"
"Not a word."
"Then everything must be all right!" breathed Linda, with a sigh of relief.
"Well, good-by," concluded Mr. Jordan, as the girls stepped into their plane. "And fly carefully. That's rather lonely country you're passing over."
"But the skies are safe!" returned Linda, as she started her motor.
