Chapter VI
DICK'S FIRST FLIGHT Mr. Vardon gave his helper a quick and warning glance. "Hush!" he exclaimed, as he looked to see if Lieutenant Larson had heard what Jack had said. But the army man evidently had not. He gave the machinist a glance, however, that was not the most pleasant in the world. It was evident that there was some feeling between the two.
