"We'd sure like to take a crack at it!" Frank declared.

"What about SKOOL?" Joe asked.

Dell shook his head. "No sale. They're going straight for Hexton himself and they're sure he's not at the castle just now."

"Have the authorities over there made any progress on the thefts?" Joe questioned.

"So far, they haven't turned up any evidence incriminating Hexton. One police official there

will be working with you-Inspector Clyde. He's a member of the London Metropolitan Police-that's Scotland Yard, you know."

The boys nodded.

"Clyde is on special assignment in Scotland to see what he can dig up on our magician friend."

"When do you want us to leave?" Frank asked.

"One of our planes departs day after tomorrow."

"We'll be ready!" Frank promised.

"And by the way," the security chief added, "if you'd like to bring your friend Chet-"

"A herd of elephants couldn't stop him from coming!" Joe put in.

Dell said he would meet the boys at the Great Circle base for a final briefing the day of the flight. He then wished them luck and left.

Brimming with excitement, Joe phoned the news to Chet. "A castle in Scotland!" their chum exclaimed. "Wow!"

"Maybe we can find another magic silver bowl for you," Joe said jokingly. "One that works."

"Aw, come on," Chet protested. Then he perked up. "But wait till you see some of my new tricks!"

"We'll see them when we get back," Frank advised him. "Right now we'd better think about packing."

"You fellows just don't have any appreciation of my uncanny skill," Chet said and hung up.

Mrs. Hardy's and Aunt Gertrude's reactions to the coming trip were quite different.

"Scotland!" the boys' aunt exclaimed. "First your father decides to play hide-and-seek, now you two want to go traipsing into danger on the other side of the Atlantic!"

Mrs. Hardy looked at her sons with a worried smile. "You know you have my permission.

Just promise me you'll be careful."

"Of course we will," Frank and Joe assured her.

After supper they began preparations for their trip. Frank had just brought suitcases from the attic when the phone rang. He picked up the receiver.

"Are you Frank Hardy?" a man asked.

"That's right."

"I've got to see you." There was a note of urgency in the caller's voice. "It's important."

"First, suppose you tell me who you are," Frank said.

"I'm Stan Mazer, pilot of the helioplane!" was the astounding answer.
