ake another look at that car before it
goes off."

"All right, Frank; but I'm all balled up about why you want me to do
that," replied Andy, suiting the action to the word.

"You see which way the car heads, don't you?" asked his cousin.

"Sure; toward town. That's as plain as the nose on my face," Andy
answered.

"And from that you'd judge they'd been out for a spin, wouldn't you?"

"Ask me something harder, won't you, Frank?" said Andy, scornfully.

"But you forget that they expected to hand their car over to the man at
the garage to be entirely overhauled! That was to be their excuse for
remaining over in Bloomsbury a couple of days!" Frank exploded.

"Wow! that's so!" exclaimed the startled Andy. "And seems now they
didn't bother doing it. Something else gripped 'em to Bloomsbury.
They concluded that they had right good need of their old car while
they hung around here. Frank, it knocks me silly; but I honestly own
up I just can't get the hang of this thing."

"Well, I'm almost in as bad a state as you are over it," replied the
other, as he pressed his lips firmly together in thought. "But, Andy,
that wasn't all I wanted you to notice, when I asked you to look at the
way the car stood."

"It wasn't, eh? Well, please keep right along, now that you've got
started, Frank. I'm shivering all over with excitement right now.
Something seems to tell me we're in for a new set of adventures that
will make all the others look tame."

"If they came along that road, Andy, it would have been the easiest
thing in the world for Mr. Marsh and his friend to have been up in the
neighborhood of the old deserted shack half an hour ago!"

Andy stared into his cousin's face, while an ashen hue spread over his
own usually cheery countenance.

"Oh, my! then you believe--," he began when Frank interrupted him by
saying:

"I don't believe anything; but the circumstance seemed a little
suspicious to me, that's all. It's possible, and that's the extent of
what flashed into my mind. But we have no proof; and I'd hate to think
that Mr. Marsh could be guilty of such a nasty thing as trying to
injure us."

"Shall we make a start now?" asked Andy, who seemed more or less in a
daze.

"I suppose we might as well. Look at the eagles dipping lower and
lower. They've got some young ones in the nest, and if we went closer
there'd be a circus going on pretty quick. But we're not looking for
trouble today," Frank remarked.
