“Why don’t you go down and talk to the boys?” asked Kit. “I left them asleep by the machines.”
“Well,” the visitor said, after a moment’s hesitation, “I may give you a call this evening, if you are still in the valley. Just now I have an important engagement.”
“We’ll be glad to see you,” replied Kit.
“So you came over in flying machines, did you?” asked the man in ranger’s uniform.
“That’s what we did,” replied the boy.
“What do you call the machines?” asked the other.
“The Louise and the Bertha.”
“From New York, eh?”
“Yes, from New York,” replied the unsuspecting boy.
