Then it became dark, and Frank could hear someone crashing away through the bushes of the garden.
CHAPTER XIV
THE WRECK AGAIN
"Paul, are you hurt? I'm coming! Father, turn on the light! Someone tried to get in Paul's room!"
Thus Frank cried as he made his way through the darkness to the hall, and fairly ran down the stairs. He knew every foot of the way.
"What's the matter?" yelled Andy.
"Oh, dear! Is it burglars?" screamed Mrs. Racer.
"Careful, boys!" shouted Mr. Racer, as he stepped out into the hall from his room, nearest to which the electric switch was, and flashed on the incandescents. "Don't run into danger."
Andy was now following his brother, having caught up a heavy fishing rod, bound together, as a substitute for a club.
"Paul, are you hurt?" cried Frank again, and by this time he was at the room door of the lad who had been so alarmed by the midnight visitor.
