After a hurried examination of the telephone directory, the young motorist called up the chief's office.
"Hello!" said he. "Is Chief Raymond there?"
"Yes," some one answered at the other end of the wire. "Want to talk with him personally?"
"Got to, and right away."
"He's busy just now. Leave your message and I'll see that he gets it."
"Can't. This is important and I'm in the biggest kind of a hurry. Tell the chief Matt King—Motor Matt—wants a word with him."
"Oh! Is that you, Matt? Why didn't you say so at the start off? This is Harris. Couldn't you recognize my voice?"
"Is Mr. Jameson there, Harris?"
"He's just gettin' out of a cab, in front—I can see him through the window."
"Well, please call the chief; I want to talk to him before Jameson gets a chance."
