“Maybe it is so simple none of us could think of it,” murmured Amy, and Jessie ignored her as she deserved:
“Why not broadcast a message by radio—the most efficient detective service in the world!”
CHAPTER XXV
A CAPTURE BY RADIO
It took the others a moment or two to grasp the meaning of Jessie’s suggestion. The idea was too new to them.
Then Burd leaned over and shook her hand warmly.
“We come, brother,” he said gravely. “That idea is worthy even of my gigantic brain. When do we begin and where?”
“To-morrow at the forest ranger station,” replied Jessie, her eyes dancing. “We can broadcast the description of the criminals and the location of the hut—or rather, the rangers can.”
“By George, that is one great idea!” broke in Darry, admiringly. “Funny I never thought of radio in that connection.”
“You certainly do take the cake, Jess darling,” said Amy, generously, if slangily. “I would do a lot for a mind like that!”
The party broke up soon after that, for aching muscles required their due and the monotonous dripping of the rain made them all very sleepy.
