Mr. Whiteside nodded.
It remained only to get information, he stated, and then went up.
“Oh, dear,” he finished. “I gave Tommy orders to ride down Jeff if he had to, in order to stop him, and to get him arrested. I wish I could stop him!”
“Who was in the first ’plane?” Dick asked.
“Sandy was there—they saw a boy, and Jeff got him some gloves; and they seemed surprisingly friendly.”
“That means that Jeff is innocent and has made friends with Sandy; but where is the woman?”
Answering Dick, Mr. Whiteside explained.
“She was in the second airplane.”
“With Tommy!” exclaimed Larry. “Then he’s the one we want to catch, as well as to save Jeff and Sandy from being driven down.”
They wasted no time.
