"But now tell me something about yourselves. It isn't fair that
my troubles should take up all the conversation."
The boys told her of their radio experiments, and she listened with
the keenest interest.
"That reminds me," she said. "I noticed a radio telephone set in this
man Cassey's office. His stenographer told me that that was his one
recreation."
"You find them everywhere," replied Bob. "They'll soon be a feature
in almost every home and business office. But we'll have to go now,"
he said, as he rose to his feet, while Joe followed his example.
"Good afternoon. And don't forget what I said. I feel you'll get
your money or you'll get your mortgage."
CHAPTER XI
CLEVER THINKING
The radio boys were at Bob's house on the dot, all but Jimmy, who to
his great disgust had to do some work for his father, and so could not
come.
"I suppose we'll have to try to get along someway without his valuable
assistance," said Herb. "When he told me he couldn't get here this
afternoon he certainly felt sore about it."
"I guess I know how he feels, all right," said Joe. "It would pretty
near break his heart not to be able to work on this radio stuff now.
I'm crazy for the time to come when we can pick our first message or
music out of the air."
"I guess you're no more anxious for that to happen than we are," said
Bob.
