"Look vonce!" answered Carl, pointing through the window. "Dere iss a shance for more scrimmages! Led us fly some kites so ve don'd lose nodding oof der seddo."
Through the window Ferral could see that the barn doors had been broken open, and that Sercomb and his three companions were around the Red Flier.
Knowing Matt's concern on account of the machine, Ferral lost not a moment in running through the kitchen and following Matt and Carl.
[CHAPTER X.]
A NEW PLAN.
"Get away from that machine!" cried Matt, leaping into the barn.
He had grabbed up a club on the way, and as he spoke he advanced threateningly upon Sercomb and his friends.
All four were in the car or around it. What they were trying to do Matt did not know, but he felt pretty sure they had not broken into the barn with harmless intentions concerning the Red Flier.
Sercomb turned away from the front of the machine and the others got out.
