"Hooray!" shouted all three together, so loudly that the sound
reached Jimmy, still lying on the grass, and roused him from his
blissful slumber.
"What's the matter here?" he asked a few moments later, coming
sleepily down the stairs. "Is the place on fire, or what?"
"No, but we've got the whole set together at last, and we thought
we were entitled to a yell or two," explained Bob.
"Gee, that's fine! I didn't mean to sleep so long. Why didn't you
wake me sooner?"
"You seemed to be enjoying that snooze so much that we hated to
disturb you," said Bob "There wasn't very much you could have done,
anyway."
"Well, I certainly feel a lot better," said Jimmy, with a prodigious
yawn. "What's the next thing on the program?"
"All we've got to do now is to hook up our leading-in wire and ground
wire and we'll be all set," said Bob. "I've got a fine big table in my
bedroom, and I was thinking that that would be a fine place to mount
all our things and keep them together."
This was agreeable to all concerned, so they repaired forthwith to
Bob's room. This was situated on the top floor, and, as it happened,
almost under the scuttle leading onto the roof. This made it
comparatively easy to connect up with the antenna, as all they had
to do was to bring the leading-in wire through the frame of the
scuttle, drill a hole through the attic floor and the ceiling of
Bob's room, and drop the insulated leading-in wire through.
