What did it mean?
Were Levitt and McGlory returning to the Country Club? Had they found the car more than they could manage, and were they taking it back to the garage?
This did not seem a satisfactory explanation, and yet Matt could think of nothing else.
At a halt in the middle of the road Matt waited for the car to draw near. If McGlory was in the machine, that was as good a time as any for a meeting and an explanation.
But the cowboy was not in the car, nor was Levitt, so far as Matt could see, or anybody else.
The car was on the reverse, and backing down the road, most marvelously keeping a straight line, although now and then lurching sideways a little and narrowly escaping the trunk of a tree at the roadside.
Here was a startling mystery!
What had happened to McGlory and Levitt?
While Matt wondered, he was making preparations to board the car and do his best to get it under control.
It was coming at a slow rate of speed, and to leap aboard would not be difficult.
