"Look!" yelled Tom, pointing to the man beside the driver.
"Look into the car!" yelled Sam.
The automobile rolled on, lost to sight in less than a minute, around the bend of the road. It was headed in the direction of New York City.
"The man on the front seat with the driver was Pelter!" exclaimed Tom.
"And dad was inside the car!" gasped Sam.
"You are right," returned Dick. "And Crabtree and another man was with him. Dad looked as if he had his hands bound behind him."
"What shall we do now?"
"How can we follow that car?"
"How did they get that auto so quick?"
"I think I know how they got the auto," said the oldest Rover boy, after a pause. "There must be a garage at the tavern. Come on and see. Maybe we can get another auto and follow that car!"
