The next morning the two chums inspected the airship, so mysteriously returned to them. Part after part they went over, and found nothing wrong. The motor ran perfectly, and there was not so much as a bent spoke in the landing wheels. For all that could be told by an inspection of the craft she might never have been out of the hangar.
"Hello, here's something!" cried Tom, as he got up from the operator's seat, where he had taken his place to test the various controls.
"What is it?" asked Ned.
"A button. A queer sort of a button. I never had any like that on my clothes, and I'm sure you didn't. Look!" and Tom held out a large, metal button of curious design.
"It must have come off the coat of one of the men who had your airship, Tom," said his chum. "Save it. You may find that it's a clew."
"I will. No telling what it may lead to. Well, I guess that's all we can find."
And it was. But Tom little realized what a clew the button was going to be. Nothing more could be learned by staring at the returned airship, so he and Ned went back to the house.
Tom Swift had many things to do, but his chief concern was for the photo telephone. Now that he was near the goal of success he worked harder than ever. The idea Ned had given him of being able to take the picture of a person at the instrument--without the knowledge of that person--appealed strongly to Tom.
"That's going to be a valuable invention!" he declared, but little he knew how valuable it would prove to him and to others.
