“About Noddy and the auto?”
“Yes.”
“I was there when it happened.”
“You don’t mean it! Tell me all about it!”
Thereupon Jerry did. He had no sooner finished than Bob appeared and wanted the particulars.
“Have you told any one about this?” asked Ned.
“Only you two.”
“Then we’d better go and tell father. He expects us to meet Noddy again at ten o’clock to-day.”
The three chums called on Mr. Slade. He was greatly surprised at what Jerry had to tell, and he agreed that no especial good would have come from Jerry having given an alarm at the time.
“I must see Mr. Nixon and explain the situation to him,” said Mr. Slade. “The sheriff had better be told also. You boys might as well come along, to give certain details.”
