"Runaway! Runaway! Horse is coming! Look out!"
Instantly the policeman began shoving people to one side, to get them out of the path of the runaway. Truck drivers began pulling their steeds to either curb. Roy looked down the street and saw a horse, attached to a cab, coming on at a gallop. Thanks to the prompt action of other drivers the runaway had a clear field.
"Look out!" shouted the officer. "Hey there, young man!" to Roy. "Git out of the street!"
But Roy had other intentions. He handed his valise to De Royster, who was vainly pulling him by the arm.
"Come on out of here!" cried De Royster. "You'll get run over."
"Take my satchel," said Roy.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to stop that horse!"
"You'll be killed!"
"Say, I guess I know how to handle horses. It won't be the first one I've caught!"
