The TEDDY AND THE MYSTERY DEER CHAPTER I LOST LOST Teddy Benson gave a final twist to the propeller of his toy, model airplane. Teddy Benson “Better not make it too tight,” suggested his chum, Dick Kelly. “Why not?” Teddy asked, looking up as he slipped on the catch so the propeller might not start revolving before he was ready. “You might break the rubber bands,” Dick explained. “Oh, I guess they’ll take it,” answered the little lad who straightened up and wet a finger in his mouth. “How is it?” asked Dick. 2 You might have thought he was inquiring how Teddy liked the taste of his finger. But anyone who has flown model airplanes could tell that Teddy was just testing the wind. 2 “It’s blowing almost directly east,” Teddy answered. “Then Mason’s meadow will be the place to have the test,” suggested Dick. “There’s plenty of room there.”
