Reeve, Arthur B. (Arthur Benjamin), 1880-1936

"Craig," I interrupted, this time very excited myself, "the
buzzing from the high-frequency current is getting lower and
lower."
"By George, then, there is another of them," he replied. "I'm not
surprised. Keep a sharp watch. Tell me the moment the buzzing
increases again."
Spencer could scarcely control his impatience. It had been a long
time since he had been a mere spectator, and he did not seem to
relish being held in check by anybody.
"Now that you are sure the vandal is there," he cut in, his cigar
out in his excitement, "can't we make a dash over there and get
him before he has a chance to do any more damage? He might be
destroying thousands of dollars' worth of stuff while we are
waiting here."
"And he could destroy the whole collection, building and all,
including ourselves into the bargain, if he heard so much as a
whisper from us," added Kennedy firmly.
"That second person has left the storeroom, Craig," I put in. "The
buzzing has returned again full force."
Kennedy tore the wireless receiver from his ear.
