"Was he hurt?"
"Not a bit."
"I don't see how he could do it," grumbled Percy. "That team was going like mad."
"So it was. Ralph not only stopped the team, but before that he worked like lightning to close the draw so that they wouldn't go overboard."
"Humph!" mused Percy. "He must have done it in hopes of a reward. Most likely he knew who was in the carriage."
"He did."
"What did Mrs. Carrington give him?"
"Nothing. But she said she would not forget him."
"She'll send him five dollars, or something like that, I guess. Did she—she say anything about me?" went on Percy, hesitatingly.
"She said you leaped from the carriage as soon as the team started."
