In less than two minutes a knock sounded and at the captain's "come in," six uniformed policemen entered. Quickly, he explained the situation to them and gave his orders.
"The driver will let you out about two squares this side of the house, and I'll be there by the time you are, and tell you how to arrange things."
He gave them the address and saluting, they left the room.
"Don't lose a minute," he shouted as the last man went out.
"Now," said Captain Long, turning to Mr. Golden and the boys, "don't you want to come along with me in my car?"
"We sure do," cried both boys together, and even Uncle Ben seemed no less anxious.
"All right then, this way," and he led them out to the street.
His car, a powerful two-seated machine, stood in front of the station house, the chauffeur dozing on the front seat, but he sprang to activity as he heard the captain's voice.
Quickly, they entered the machine, Captain Long giving the direction to the driver, and just as they started, the patrol whizzed by, the horses at full gallop.
