"And they'll hear from me," answered Dick. "and the fellow who sent

"If you wish, you can take the lead," said the fun-loving Rover to his

"It will be all right if only you don't get on some road that is
impassible," put in Fred.
"And get stuck thirty miles from nowhere," added Songbird.

sooner or later."
They sped down the hill and there found the road turned to the left
and crossed a small stream.
