"Come again!" shouted the Snubble boys.
"We will," answered Dick. "Your field makes a dandy landing place."
Dick ran the automobile and put on good speed all the way home. As they went along they watched the flight of the biplane, but soon the machine passed from view.
"She certainly can sail!" cried Tom. "Oh, Dick, we'll have to take her to Brill with us!"
"That's it!" cried Sam. "What's the use of leaving her behind? We can sail after college hours."
"Yes, and think how quickly we could get over to Hope Seminary," went on Tom. The place he mentioned was a young ladies' boarding school located not many miles from Brill. Dora Stanhope went to Hope, and so did the two Laning girls.
"We'll see about it," replied Dick, briefly. But the idea of taking the flying machine to Brill pleased him as much as it did his brothers.
When they got home they found that Captain Colby had already arrived. He and the Dartaway were in the field back of the barn, and surrounding the aviator were all the members of the Rover household.
"Well, boys, got back, eh?" cried Anderson Rover, as they rolled up in the automobile.
"Hello, dad!" came from all three. And then they leaped to the ground to greet their parent. All could not help but notice that he looked a trifle pale and careworn.
