about midnight
They anxiously awaited some message regarding the two swindlers , but nothing came . Then , worn out by the strenuous day they had put in , they went to bed and slept soundly until morning . Before having breakfast they asked for messages . There was one from a village called Bahan , saying a green runabout with two men had passed through there about midnight . But the men had not been captured , and it was not known what had become of them . At noon the telephone line between Oak Run and Carwell was in working order once more , and the boys sent word home . Then they left directions at the hotel , so that any messages coming in might be transmitted to the Rover farm .
