Nothing escaped them, and they "did" the show
thoroughly, so thoroughly in fact that at the end they were, as Joe
expressed it, "all in."
"Gee, I knew that show was going to be great," remarked Bob happily,
as they were returning home on the train. "But I didn't have any
idea that it was going to be such a whale."
"It was a pippin," agreed Joe, as he snuggled back still further
in his seat.
Jimmy sighed gustily.
"What's the matter, Doughnuts?" asked Bob.
"I was just pitying," replied Jimmy, "the poor boobs who didn't
see it."
"And that's no joke!" said Joe. "Seeing all those things is going
to be a big help toward winning those prizes."
"Who said I was joking?" retorted Jimmy. "I wasn't. That show was
the dandiest thing I ever saw."
CHAPTER XXII
THE STOLEN SET
Meanwhile, Bob, Joe and Jimmy were working like beavers on their
prize sets, and were making great progress. Mr. Ferberton's offer
had aroused great interest in the town, and several other boys were
working for the coveted prizes. The knowledge of this only spurred
the radio boys to greater efforts, and they began to acquire a deeper
insight into the mysteries of radio work with every day that passed.
They began to talk so learnedly of condensers and detectors that Herb
wished more than once that he had started to make a set of his own,
and he was at last driven in self defense to study up on the subject
so as not to be left too far behind.
