"I think you are the two luckiest girls in the world," declared Roy
solemnly, as he concluded his examination and announced his conclusions.

CHAPTER VII.
A STOP FOR THE NIGHT.
It was some two hours later that Meadville received the greatest
excitement of its career. People rushed out of stores and houses as
the "flock" of aeroplanes came into sight.
As they gazed down the young aviators felt a momentary regret that they
had chosen a town in which to pass the first night of their motor
flight. It appeared that they would get into difficulties when they
attempted to make a landing.
But almost simultaneously they spied a public park, which appeared
to offer a favorable landing place. As soon as their intention of
descending there became manifest, however, the crowd made a headlong
rush for the spot.
It was too late to seek some other location to alight even had there
been one available. Trusting to luck that the eager spectators would get
out of their way the four aeroplanes began their spiraling descent.
