Dick told Mr. Pollock the name of the farmer from whose home he was telephoning. "Just you wait there, Prescott. And, oh!---pshaw! I came near forgetting to tell you the biggest news of all---for you. Mrs. Dodge this morning offered a thousand dollars' reward for the finding of her husband, dead or alive. You'll get that reward---you and Darrin! But I've no more time to talk. Stay right where you are until I reach you." Nor was it long before Dick, pacing by the farmyard gate, saw an automobile approaching at a lively clip. In it were the chauffeur and Editor Pollock. The latter waved his hand wildly when he caught sight If his High School reporter. Right begged this automobile sped another, in which sat Chief Coy, Officer Hemingway and a uniformed policeman, in addition to the chauffeur. "We didn't lose much time, did we?" hailed Mr. Pollock, as the first auto slowed up "Jump in, quick! Show us the way." "I suppose there's some excitement down in Gridley, about this time?" laughed Dick, as the two autos raced along once more. "Not a bit," replied the editor. "And for the very simple reason that no one knows that Dodge has been found." |
