“Then how are you going to arrest him?”
“I have the number of his car.”
“He may change it.”
“I don’t believe he’d risk that.”
“But you don’t know where to look for him.”
“I think I do,” replied Larry confidently. “I believe there is but one place where he would head for with the stolen million in his possession, and that is Canada. For, though it is easier to extradite absconders from there than it used to be, still it is the safest place he could go to, within a short distance of New York. So, if you’ll furnish the auto, I’ll take after him, and I’ll follow on the shortest and best roads that lead to Canada.”
“Larry, I believe you’re right!” cried Mr. Emberg. “Start as soon as you can, and there’s no limit to your expense account. Only get a scoop story if you can.”
“I will!” and with that the young reporter began his arrangements.
Two hours later he was driving alone in a powerful car out of New York.
Larry was an expert autoist, and had driven several makes of machines. He held a New York State license, so there was no delay.
