By it many surprise attacks
were made, and much valuable information was obtained that
otherwise could not have been brought in.
One day, after the rogues had been sent to prison for long
terms, and Tom had turned over to his government his silent
aircraft--except one which he was induced to keep for his own
personal use--the young inventor went to call on Mary Nestor. The
object of his call, as I believe he stated it, was to see how Mr.
Nestor was, but that, of course, was camouflage.
"Would you like to come for a ride, Mary, in the silent
airship?" asked Tom, after he had paid his respects to Mr. Nestor
and his wife. "We can talk very easily on board Silent Sam
without the use of a speaking tube. Come on--we'll go for a
moonlight sky ride."
"It sounds enticing," said Mary, with a shy look at Tom. "But
wouldn't you just as soon sit on a bench in the garden? It's
moonlight there, and we can talk, and--and--"
"I'd just as soon!" said Tom quickly.
And out they went into the beautiful moonlight; and here we
will leave them and say good-bye.
