others advanced upon Mr.. Ransom.

public street. 1t was here that Danny
got ready for business.
He made a desperate lunge at the
nearest rear wheel. Blade-deep
through outer and inner sheathings
of rubber went the knife. There was
a hiss, then a frightful report. The
chauffeur caught the warning sound.
The auto sidled on a menacing slant.
