"Oh, let's try a little longer," begged Cora.
"Well, if he dropped it before he got here, or after he left, we
might as well make the entire trip to New City, and then reverse and
go to Chelton," went on Jack. "And we can't look over every inch of

large that it could easily be seen. It's too bad we haven't Sid and
Ida along to help hunt for it. And the Robinson girls, and Mary. The
more eyes, the better. I'll go on to New City, if you'll make a
search on the road from here to Chelton, Jack."

"It would be a good plan," assented Cora, "to have a person with
you. If you could pick up some one--"
"Or run across somebody," added Jack with a grin.
"No, Jack, I'm serious.
