you to
delay."

"Will you go with me to see her at ten o'clock to-morrow morning, Miss
Stuart?" queried Mr. Latham.

"Certainly," Miss Sallie agreed.

"I beg of you then not to mention what has taken place in this room this
afternoon," Mr. Latham urged. "When we know the truth in regard to this
child it will be time to tell the strange story. Good-bye until to-morrow
morning."

"Mollie," Bab cried as soon as the door closed on Mr. Latham, "I
surrender. And I humbly beg your pardon. You are a better detective than
I am. What is the discovery of the Boy Raffles compared with your
bringing to light the family history of poor little Eunice! Just think,
instead of being a poor, despised Indian girl, Eunice is heiress to a
large fortune."

"Then you believe in me now, Bab!" Mollie rejoined. "I have always
thought Eunice was in some way connected with the Latham family."

"Girls," Miss Stuart cautioned quietly, "when you take Eunice to her
grandmother, at Naki's house, say nothing. Remember, you are to speak to
no one of what happened this afternoon."

CHAPTER XXII

THE AUTOMOBILE WINS

Immediately after breakfast, next morning, "The Automobile Girls" started
in Ruth's car for Naki's house in Pittsfield.

Miss Stuart had decided that it would be best to have Eunice out of the
way when she and Mr. Latham made their call on the grandmother.

So the girls hurried off after Eunice.

They were in splendid spirits as they approached Naki's house. No one of
them doubted, for an instant, that Mr. Winthrop Latham would find little
Eunice was his niece.

"You run in and ask the grandmother whether Eunice may take a ride with
us, Mollie," Ruth suggested as she stopped her car. "If Naki is at home,
ask him to step out here a minute. I want to prepare him for the call of
Aunt Sallie and Mr. Latham."

In three minutes Mollie flew out of the house again. She was alone. There
was no sign of Eunice!

"O girls!" Mollie cried, "Eunice and her grandmother are gone!"

"Gone where?" Bab queried.

"Back to their own wigwam!" Mollie continued. "Last night Ceally says a
woman, heavily veiled, came here, accompanied by a young man. They talked
to the Indian woman and Eunice a long time. They told the squaw a man was
in pursuit of her. He would come this morning to take her away. She was
so frightened that Naki and Ceally could do nothing to influence her. She
started with Eunice, last night, for their wigwam in the hills
