back the clock on me."

Before the two young fellows left Roselawn again, they did the girls a
favor that Amy and Jessie highly appreciated. It was done
involuntarily but was nevertheless esteemed. Mark Stratford drifted up
the Bonwit Boulevard in his big and shiny car and halted it in front
of the Norwood place to hail Darry and Burd.

"Here's the millionaire kid," called out Alling. "Know him, girls?
He's quite the fastest thing that lingers about old Yale. Zoomed over
the German lines in the war, stoking an airplane, although at that
time he was only a kid. Mark Stratford. His family are the Stratford
Electric Company. Oodles of money. But Mark is a patient soul."

"'Patient'?" repeated Jessie, wonderingly, as she and Amy accompanied
the young fellows down to the street.

"Oh, Mr. Stratford! take us to the plant and let us go into the radio
broadcasting room. Amy and I are just longing to see how it is done."

"Oh, _that!_" exclaimed Mark Stratford.

"We're crazy about radio, Mr. Stratford," agreed Amy.

"Some radio fiends, these two," said Darry. And he told his friend to
what use the girls had already put Jessie's set for the benefit of the
church bazaar.

"If you girls want to see how it's done, to be sure I'll introduce you
to the man in charge. Wait till we drive around there." Stratford was
as good as his word. It was a time in the afternoon when the Electric
Company's matinee concert was being broadcasted. They went up in the
passenger elevator in the mai
