You are going to have a useless errand,
though, I fear, but I appreciate what you are doing for me."
"Come on--hurry!" cried Cora, all impatient to be off, and then,
when Walter climbed in beside her and Jack sent his car off,
following the big machine of his sister, Ed disappeared behind the
door of the police station.
CHAPTER VIII
A VAIN SEARCH
"Here's where the collision occurred!" exclaimed Cora a little
later, when her car and Jack's, having been sent at a fast speed
down the road, came to a halt, and she directed her brother's
attention to the spot.
"No, this isn't it," objected Walter. "It's farther on. It's right
near an old stump, don't you remember?"
"Oh, yes," answered Cora as she sent her car ahead again. "This is
where we nearly ran into the wagon. I'm so excited I can't think
straight."
"Well, be sure you steer straight!" cried Jack from the rear. "I
don't want to run into you. Better let Walter take the wheel."
"Indeed, I'll do nothing of the sort!" cried Cora, laughing. "With
all due respect to you, Walter, of course," she added with a bright
look up into the face of her companion. "But don't you think I can
manage my machine pretty well?"
"More than pretty and more than well," was her escort's reply.
