The thought gave David a creepy feeling on the back of his neck. They certainly would have to hurry. * * * * * Early next morning David climbed up to the ledge, bringing with him the coil of rope and the hatchet. As an afterthought he had added a paper bag full of cookies. THE THOUGHT GAVE DAVID A CREEPY FEELING ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK THEY CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE TO HURRY EARLY NEXT MORNING DAVID CLIMBED UP TO THE LEDGE BRINGING WITH HIM THE COIL OF ROPE AND THE HATCHET AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT HE HAD ADDED A PAPER BAG FULL OF COOKIES
 Of course the Phoenix's Plan was more important than any model plane could be. So he kept the gold pieces tied up in his handkerchief and took his ten dollars to a hardware store, where he bought what the Phoenix wanted--a coil of rope, an electric door bell, a pushbutton, and one hundred feet of insulated wire. Then he brought the package home, hid it behind the woodpile in the garage, and sat down to think. Wire--bell--pushbutton. What could the Phoenix possibly want with them? And what was the rope for? And the hatchet? The more he puzzled over it the more confused he became, and finally he just gave up. There was only one thing he was sure about: whatever the Plan was, they would have to carry it out as soon as possible. Two days had passed since the Scientist had shown up. The new gun he had ordered might arrive at any time now. Perhaps even today, when they had been digging up the pirate treasure, the Scientist had got his new rifle and had started to hunt through the mountains. OMPLETELY OUT OF HIS MIND OF COURSE THE PHOENIX'S PLAN WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY MODEL PLANE COULD BE SO HE KEPT THE GOLD PIECES TIED UP IN HIS HANDKERCHIEF AND TOOK HIS TEN DOLLARS TO A HARDWARE STORE WHERE HE BOUGHT WHAT THE PHOENIX WANTED A COIL OF ROPE AN ELECTRIC DOOR BELL A PUSHBUTTON AND ONE HUNDRED FEET OF INSULATED WIRE THEN HE BROUGHT THE PACKAGE HOME HID IT BEHIND THE WOODPILE IN THE GARAGE AND SAT DOWN TO THINK WIRE BELL PUSHBUTTON WHAT COULD THE PHOENIX POSSIBLY WANT WITH THEM AND WHAT WAS THE ROPE FOR AND THE HATCHET THE MORE HE PUZZLED OVER IT THE MORE CONFUSED HE BECAME AND FINALLY HE JUST GAVE UP THERE WAS ONLY ONE THING HE WAS SURE ABOUT WHATEVER THE PLAN WAS THEY WOULD HAVE TO CARRY IT OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TWO DAYS HAD PASSED SINCE THE SCIENTIST HAD SHOWN UP THE NEW GUN HE HAD ORDERED MIGHT ARRIVE AT ANY TIME NOW PERHAPS EVEN TO DAY WHEN THEY HAD BEEN DIGGING UP THE PIRATE TREASURE THE SCIENTIST HAD GOT HIS NEW RIFLE AND HAD STARTED TO HUNT THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS
