"Well, this is a good night's work!" exclaimed Tom, when the
two rogues had been sent to jail and Mr. Nestor taken to the
Bloise farmhouse, to be refreshed before he went home. Word of
his rescue was telephoned to Mary and her mother, and it can be
imagined how they regarded Tom Swift for his part in the affair.
Little the worse for his experience, save that he was very
nervous, Mr. Nestor was taken home. He gave the details of his
being waylaid, and told how the men, for many days, were at their
wits' ends to keep him concealed when they found what a stir his
disappearance had created. The conspirators were well supplied
with money, and in the automobile they took their prisoner from
one place to another. They had usurped the use of the cabin and
had lived there nearly a week in hiding, leaving just before the
first visit of Tom and Jackson. The rifled wallet had been
dropped by accident.
And it did not take much delving to disclose the fact that,
Lydane, "Gold Tooth," as he was called, and his crony, were spies
in the pay of the Universal Flying Machine Company.
