"Yes," said Vincent. "We are interested in wireless. This is a good spot to experiment with it."
"Not many persons living hereabouts, I suppose."
"Very few. There are some unoccupied cabins in the woods below. Beyond that, across Ridge Road, is the deserted ruin of an old house."
"Indeed. That's curious. Ruins have always interested me. I have seen many in England, and the Continent."
"In Russia?" questioned Bruce Duncan suddenly.
The Englishman started. He looked sharply at his questioner. Then his natural indifference returned.
"Yes, I have been to Russia," he drawled.
"And that is why you are here now," added Harry.
A curious expression appeared upon the Englishman's face. For a moment, he appeared to be alarmed.
"I don't quite understand," he said.
