CHAPTER VII

FACE TO FACE

"If you catch Porton, Dave, what will you do--turn him over to the authorities?"

"Yes, Roger."

"Is Bixter much of a place?"

"Oh, no. There are but two stores and two churches and not over thirty or forty houses."

"Then you may have some trouble in finding an officer. Probably the village doesn't boast of anything more than a constable and a Justice of the Peace."

"I am not worrying about that yet, Roger," returned our hero, grimly. "We have got to catch Porton first."

"Oh, I know that. But if he started for Bixter on foot we ought to be able to locate him. A stranger can't go through such a small place without somebody's noticing it."

On and on trotted the horse, past many well-kept farms, and then through a small patch of timber land. Beyond the woods they crossed a frozen creek, and then made a turn to the northward. A short distance beyond they came in sight of the first houses that went to make up the village of Bixter.

"Well, we've not seen anything of him yet," remarked the senator's son, as they slowed up and looked ahead and to both sides of the village street.

"No, and I don't understand it," returned Dave. "From what that carpenter's helper said, I thought we should overtake him before we got to Bixter. Either he must have left this road, or else he must be some walker."

"I don't see where he could have gone if he left the road, Dave. All we passed were lanes leading to the farms, and a path through that wood. It isn't likely he would take to the woods in this cold weather--not unless he was going hunting, and that chap back in Clayton didn't say anything about his carrying a gun."
