"Unless they're all fools up there she'll be detained some time," said Scott, disgustedly. "Well, I'll go and get the Morgans on the wire and see if they've seen anything of her," and he strode away toward the office. Mrs. Van Zandt sat watching him as he swung down the street. The sun's gilding had faded from the mountains and it was growing dark.

Jack ground down his brakes in chagrin. "Blocked!" he exclaimed disgustedly. "What awful luck," muttered Tom. "Isn't there any way we can get by?" inquired the doctor anxiously. "It's important that I should reach Mr. Chadwick as soon as possible." Jack made no reply, but bent over the gas-valve. In an instant the gas was hissing into the balloon bag.

Standing there, he looked longingly up at the invisible bunch of grapes. "My gracious," he said, "what fine grapes! I will have some." Then he jumped for them.
