There was another machine ahead, and I lost 'em both for a second down there by the turn. I did n't see the other again, but I did get a glimpse of one off on that side road. It looked like the car that passed me. That's all I know." "Probably him, all right." The voice came from the tonneau. "Maybe he figured to give us the slip and get back to Denver. You did n't notice the license number?"
The driver is provided with a small orifice through which he is able to obtain a clear uninterrupted view of the road ahead, while the armouring over the tonneau is carried to a sufficient height to allow head-room to the gun crew when standing at the gun. All four wheels are of the disk type and fashioned from heavy sheet steel.
"I want to cut some of those willow switches," explained Harding, as the car stopped. "What do you want of willow switches, John?" asked Mrs. Harding. "Going to make whistles out of them," he said, cutting several which sprouted out from the edge of a spring. "Besides they're good things to keep the flies from biting the tonneau. Smith runs so slow that they are stealing a ride."
It seemed that thieves had broken into the courtyard of the barracks, where the car had been locked up for the night, and, in spite of the fact that the chauffeur was asleep in the tonneau, had stripped it of everything, including the spare tires.
It was such a tangible evidence of what had threatened to grow vague and unreal on his hands. He squeezed himself into the narrow space between it and the wall, finally thrusting his head under the curtains of the tonneau. It was high and dry, empty as last year's cockleshell.

It's only disconnected spark plugs and a short circuiting." "Travel, then!" snapped Benton. "Leave the runabout here. The other gentleman may prefer not to walk home." As he swung himself into the tonneau, the chauffeur had already seized the wheel and the car was backing for the turn. Far back up the hillside there was a crashing of underbrush.
Colette smiled at the drooping of John's features as he beheld her father ensconced in the tonneau. "Oh, John! I am glad you were here to protect my little girl through these byways. I was just on the point of looking her up myself." When the car stopped at the rectory and Colette bade John good-night, the resolute, forward thrust was still prominent in his chin.
But we had White-Face and Tumble-Weed and our sea-going spring-wagon, with plenty of rugs, and there was no way, of course, of putting a team and rig in the tonneau. So I made my adieux and planted Peter meekly in the back seat with little Dinkie to hold and took the reins myself.
