“Take me to that man and I’ll give you a five dollar bill.”
The old farmer was greatly astonished.
“Who be you?” he questioned cautiously.
Leo told him.
The farmer at once agreed to run down Hank Griswold, if it could be done.
Leo jumped into the wagon and off they went.
The chase, however, was a useless one. Griswold had taken to a side road and could not be found.
“But I’ll catch him some day,” said Leo to Carl, “and then I’ll make him tell why he attacked me.”
“Perhaps he was hired to do it,” ventured the young magician.
“That is what I think,” returned Leo, with a grave shake of his head.
