“That’s what I was told.”
“As a matter of fact, he didn’t leave until after we did, for he passed us while I was looking for the missing driver.”
She shot a quick look at him.
“You saw that, did you?” she inquired.
“Yes.”
“Then why didn’t you stop the car and find out what Mr. McGlory wanted?”
“The car was going too fast. Besides, I didn’t know my friend was in the car until it was too far away.”
She laughed softly.
“Then you do have a little confidence in me, after all?”
“Not a bit,” answered Matt, with a little laugh. “For reasons of your own, I believe you’re going to take me to the place where some one else is taking McGlory. I don’t know why, but I suppose I’ll find out if I wait long enough. Anyway, if Joe McGlory is in any sort of trouble, my place is at his side. And if you try to get away from me before I find McGlory,” he threatened, “I shall turn you over to the police in one of these small towns we’re passing through.”
