and that's enough。〃 

     〃I'm glad you'll stay home; Tom;〃 said his father。 〃Now perhaps I'll get 

my gyroscope finished。〃 

     〃And   I;   my   noiseless   airship;〃   went   on   our   hero。   〃No;   Mr。   Period; 

you'll have to excuse me this time。 Why don't you go yourself?〃 he asked。 

〃You would know just what kind of pictures you wanted。〃 

     〃No; I'm a promoter of the moving picture business; and I sell films; 

but I don't know hew to take them;〃 was the answer。 〃Besides Ierwell; I 

don't exactly care for airships; Tom Swift;〃 he finished with a laugh。 〃Well; 

I can't thank you enough for what you did for me; and I've brought you a 

check to cover your expenses; and pay you as I agreed。 All the same I'm 

sorry you won't start for Japan; or the North Pole。〃 

     〃Nothing doing;〃 said Tom with a laugh; and Mr。 Period departed。 

     〃Have you any idea what you will do next?〃 asked Ned; a day or so 

later; when he and Tom were in the workshop。 

     〃I can't tell until I finish my noiseless airship;〃 was the answer。 〃Then 

something may happen。〃 

     Something did; as I shall have the pleasure of telling you about in the 

next    volume    of   this  series;  to  be  called;   〃Tom    Swift   and   His   Great

Searchlight; or; On the Border for Uncle Sam;〃 and in it will be given an 

account     of   a  great  lantern   our   hero   made;    and   how    he   baffled   the 

smugglers with it。 

     〃Oh;    Tom;    weren't   you    dreadfully    frightened    when    you   saw   that 

burning river of lava coming toward you?〃 asked Mary Nestor; when the 

young inventor called on her later and told her some of his adventures。 〃I 

should have been scared to death。〃 

     〃Well;    I  didn't  have    time   to  get   scared;〃   answered     Tom。    〃It  all 

happened so quickly; and then; too I was thinking of my camera。 Next I 

knew Koku grabbed me; and it was all over。〃 

     〃But those wild beasts! Didn't they frighten you; especially when the 

rhinoceros charged you?〃 

     〃If you won't let it get out; I'll make a confession to you;〃 said Tom; 

lowering his voice。 〃I was scared stiff that time; but don't let Ned know it。〃 

     〃I won't;〃 promised Mary with a laugh。 And now; when Tom is in such 

pleasant   company;   we   will   take   leave   of   him  for   a   while;   knowing   that。 

sooner or later; he will be seeking new adventures as exciting as those of 

the past。 

     THE END
