  when Tom was telling her about it a few days afterward。
  〃No。 I guess I must apologize to him。〃 Which Tom did; but Andy did
  not receive it very graciously; especially as Tom accused him of trying to
  destroy the Humming…Bird。
  Andy     denied    this   and   denied    having     anything    to   do   with   the
  mysterious fire; and; as there was no way to prove him guilty; Tom could
  not proceed against him。 So the matter was dropped。
  Mr。 Swift continued to improve; and was soon himself again; and able
  to   resume     his  inventive    work。    Tom    received    several    offers  to   give
  exhibition flights at big aero meets; but refused; as he was busy on his new
  rifle。 Mr。 Damon helped him。
  Andy   Foger   made   several   successful   flights   in   his   queer   aeroplane;
  which turned out to be the product of a German genius who was supplied
  with money by Mr。 Foger。 Andy became very proud; and boasted that he
  and the German were going abroad to give flights in Europe。
  〃I'd be glad if he would;〃 said Tom; when he heard of the plan。 〃He
  wouldn't bother me then。〃
  With   the   money   received   from   winning   the   big   race;   and   from   his
  contracts   from   the   Government;   Tom   Swift   was   now   in   a   fair   way   to
  become   quite   wealthy。   He   was   destined   to   have   many   more   adventures;
  yet; come what might; never would he forget the thrilling happenings that
  fell to his lot while flying for the ten…thousand dollar prize in his sky racer。
