The High School Left End - Dick & Co. Grilling on the Football Gridiron by H. Irving (Harrie Irving) Hancock
page 60 of 234 (25%)

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."
