“A visitor for yo’, Marse Andy,” announced Scipio. “It’s only me,” said Mr. Chase, stepping into the sitting room of the aerodrome at the Parks’ camp. “Well, no one is more welcome, Mr. Chase,” declared Andy heartily. “Come in, sit down, and make yourself at home.” “Not till I ask a certain question,” dissented the grizzled lockup-keeper of Princeville.
