Why, a person living away off in the
country can listen in on the finest of concerts, lectures, sermons
and everything else. And pick up all the very latest news in the
bargain."
One day Bob had to go out of town on an errand for his father and he
was allowed to take Joe along. At the out-of-town railroad station
they quite unexpectedly ran into Nellie Berwick. The girl had
recovered from the shock of the automobile accident but looked
much downcast.
"No, I haven't heard from Dan Cassey yet," she said, in reply to
a question from Bob.
"Then he didn't come back?" questioned Joe.
"No--or, if he did, he is keeping in hiding. I guess my money is
gone," and the girl heaved a deep sigh.
"The rascal, the dirty rascal!" was Bob's comment, after they had
left Miss Berwick. "Oh, how I would like to hand him over to the
police!"
"Yes, but give him a good licking first," added his chum.
While Buck Looker was still racking his brains for an appropriate form
of punishment for Bob and his chums, a most interesting thing happened
to the radio boys. The Representative in Congress of the district in
which Clintonia was located, Mr. Ferberton, came out with an offer of
a prize of one hundred dolllars for the best amateur wireless outfit
made by any boy in his district, and a second prize of fifty dollars.
