Gramp started forward. It
would only take a word or two.
He could make Trixie do her other
stunts and then slip back and
telephone. It would be asy, sim

planned it. The man reached
down and patted Trixie. "a good

dog" He looked at his girl; and
the dog, and Gramp, and the
whole world ceased to exist.

Gramp turned back to the sta.

car. Who was he to judge people
who were young and in love?
When you'd seen as many people
as Gramp had, you stopped being
sure who was right and who was
wrong. They must have had a
reason those two. If they were

there might be circumstances.

to the young couple in the car.
What had forced them into theft?
What chance, what circumstance,
what unlucky turn of the wheel?
About an hour later Gramp
heard the roar of a motorcycle
turning in at the gas station. He
saw Lieutenant Van elect of the
Millerton station. Gas Leuten-

heart beat in his throat. What
had those two done? Murder?
kidnapping?
The Lieutenant wiped his fore

he asked.
For one terrible second Gramp
hesitated. Trixie rub bed up

down over her he shook his head.

answered quickly:
Nope, not too many cars stop.
