"I think I could if I had some wire."
"I'll run over to the house and see if I can't find some."

A tiny speck appeared under the aeroplane and rapidly approached the earth.

A moment later there was a sharp explosion. From the sound it was certain that the bomb had struck only a short distance away. A moment after hearing the report, however, the three young soldiers were on their feet.
"Where did it land?" demanded Earl.
"On that barn," exclaimed Leon. "Just look at it."
The roof had been partly blown off the little barn and already the structure was in flames.
