THE CHAUFFEUR OF THE TOURING CAR "Let us run the biplane down the road a way and then into another field and down among the trees," suggested Tom.

"No use of leaving it too near here--some of that gang might come and ruin it." Tom's advice was considered good, and once more the three Rover boys hurried to the _Dartaway_.

As there was still no wind, it was an easy matter to roll the machine along on its wheels.

They found a field where the fence was down, and ran the biplane across this and in among some trees and bushes.
"Are you going to take the lantern ?" asked Sam.

"It seems to me it won't be wise to let them see us, at first." "I'll take it along unlit," answered his big brother.
