Agatha had TO admit TO herself
that he was right. The trees formed
a perfect canopy-and how could
anyone trace them to this road?
She wished he wouldn't mouth
his food. Also, she didn't like the
way he kept staring at Clemantine.
"Sa-ay, that's an awful funny
hat"
Agatha's heart missed beat.
She heard Clemantine gasp.
Funniest hat I've ever seen. -
the kidnaper said.
"There-there's nothing unusual
about this hat"
Lady, it's a riot!-
He stopped eating. Apparently
there were no more sandwiches. His
eyes narrowed and he leaned slight

closer look What's that bulge in

IT'S nothing. All these hats are

s CHAPTER TWENTY -FOUR
AFTER THE driver picked up
The shoe she had kicked off as a
clue which rescuers might follow,
Agatha lost hope. The huge red
wood trees seemed to close in be-
hind the car like sentinels of a
tremendous, gloomy prison. The
\ old automobile twisted and bumped
Vthrough thickets of low hang
ing branches, across half-ruined
bridges, past loggers' cabins fallen
IN decay.
You might drive sloweri" Gle
mantine suggested. do you expect
MS to stay in this seat-with hands
tied and no way Of hanging on?"
y The driver did not turn his head,
but Agatha saw he was watching
them in the mirror. you won't fall
out" he growled.
I'm not too sure Of that" Aga
tina informed him testify. What she
really was worried about was that
ridiculous hat on Clemantine's
head. 1t bobbed precariously, per-
f1aps because Of the extra weight
given it by the radio tube concealed
in the crown.
Twice the man stopped the car,
climbed out, walked back and, with
pieces Of brush, erased tracks left
by the tires in sandy places. Most
of the road was packed hard and
covered with redwood needles that
left no record Of travel.
Another peril to Clemantine's hat
was the low-hanging branches I'M
der which it was necessary to duck
because the car had no top.
At one duck Agatha exclaimed,
BE CAREFUL
Clemantine gave her a warning
!. look and whispered, Hush! I'm do
Ting the best 1 CAM"
Ever since they had left the main
road Agatha had been trying to
think of some way Clemantine
might shake the hat overheard at
some place where il could be found
again. Trouble was, always when
she glanced in the mirror on the
\ windshield she saw the mans eyes
watching them.
The road bordered a creek which
under any other circumstances
would have inspired "oh's and
"ah's" over its beauty. The water
rolled and churned in white trails
among the rocks, and in deep pools
, reflected the overhanging ferns that
= gave shelter to wary trout The
great trees stood with their feet
among the dewy azaleas and
reached for the sky. feeling the first
warm sunlight in their top branches
and breathing out a perfume that
called for romance.
