now that the three of them arrived at the other end on time. It will be almost as good as having them right here with us." "Get your coat on, then, and we'll be going," said Jimmy. "It's not so far from seven o'clock, now." Herb ran back into the house, and, emerging shortly afterward, joined his friend, and they set out for Jimmy's house. "Conditions ought to be ideal for radio to-night," Herb remarked, as they walked along. "It's clear as a bell. There won't be enough static to-night to bother any one." "So much the better," said Jimmy. "That set of mine doesn't get very good results when the static is bad. I thought it was the real thing once, but compared with the sets we've made since, I can see where it might be a lot better." "Well, there aren't many things that are so good that they can't be improved," remarked Herb. "I suppose even if I set out to make a perfect set, I might fall a little short of the mark somewhere."

"But here we are, and I'm beginning to feel hungry again, although it isn't very long since I had supper. I think I'll hunt around in the kitchen and see if I can't find a few doughnuts. I'm pretty sure that there are some left in the crock." "I don't see how there can be, if you knew they were there," laughed Herb. "But I hope you do find some. Your mother's doughnuts have a reputation, you know." "We'll go up to my room first, and then I'll have a look," said Jimmy. Herb had hardly gotten his coat off before Jimmy returned with several golden brown doughnuts. "Here we are," he said, triumphantly. "Now to enjoy the radio!" Herb had brought a pair of ear phones with him, and he and Jimmy connected their phones in series, so that they could both listen at the same time.
