"Not that I know of," he answered rather gloomily. "The trouble is
that so many of those who might be able to throw additional light on
it are away. Sid has gone--no one seems to know where--Ida is away
visiting, and we haven't been able to find that old farmer that got
his team in the way of the race. Ed remembers passing him on the
road, and he spoke to him, but even that wouldn't account for how
the wallet got in Cora's car."

"No," said Elizabeth with a sigh. "But where are you going, Cora?"

"Around to Madam Julia's. I went in the bank to get grandmother's
hundred-dollar bill broken, so I could pay for my things at madam's.
I suppose they are done by this time. Won't you girls come with me?"

"Yes," added Jack, "and speaking of hundred dollar bills, what do
you suppose that bank teller did? He--"

"Jack, dear," spoke Cora softly, and her brother subsided.

"Do come," she urged the twins: "It will be such fun to see me try
on my motor togs."

"Wait until we tell you something!" burst out Belle. "We have--"

"A surprise for you," interrupted Bess.

"A brand-new--" started in Belle.

"Motor car," finished Bess triumphantly.
