[CHAPTER XIV.]
FACING A TRAITOR.
Inquiry developed the fact that Boss Burton was in the ticket wagon with Carter, checking over the evening's receipts and making them ready to be carried to the train and safely stowed until the next town on the show's schedule was reached.
"We'll catch Carter right in the strong wagon," laughed McGlory, as he and Matt hurried to the place.
The door of the wagon was always kept locked. Matt knocked, and the voice of Burton demanded to know what was wanted.
"It's Motor Matt," replied the young motorist. "Let us in for a few minutes, Burton."
"I'll come out and talk with you. There's not much room in here."
"I'd rather talk in there," said Matt. "It's important. McGlory is with me."
A bolt was shoved and the door of the wagon pulled open.
