CHAPTER VIII

"THEY WENT UP IN THE AIR"


"There's something funny about those boys!" exclaimed Canfield. "They
seemed to be merry-hearted fellows, just a little bit full of mischief,
but for some reason they never mixed with the others much."

"Where did they come from when they came here?" asked Will.

"The information in the letters I received from the attorney in charge
of the case is that they came here from New York, not directly but by
some roundabout way."

"Did this attorney ever inform you why he wanted the boys found?"
asked Tommy. "Are we all working in the dark?"

"He never told me why he wanted the boys found. For all I know, they
may be wanted for some crime, or they may be heirs to an immense
property. My instructions are to find them. That's all!"

"Where did these boys lodge?" asked Will.
