 "Oh dear." Mollie cried a little wildly, her glance darting here and there, its getting to be just one thing after another. Where is he? Where can he have gone to-"
 She wrung her hands in helpless ness, paced back and forth wildly. What had we better do? Go back and get some help? Turn in an alarm ?'

 Mike IIcnnegan broke in at this point with something 10 show that the superintendent easily might be wrong in his deductions and inc hound dogs perfectly right in theirs.
