This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ...to "get under," but all to no avail. The machine refused to be placated and stood stubbornly still in the middle of the road while the storm clouds gathered and the first drops began to fall. "Well," Mollie decided at last, sitting miserably on the running board, "I guess we've either got to sit here all night or walk home and trust to luck the car doesn't get stolen." "Also get soaked through ourselves," Grace was adding disconsolately, when a familiar sound caught their ears. It was the regular tramp, tramp of marching men. "Some of the boys from the camp!" cried Mollie, springing up joyfully. "Maybe they'll help us." As the small squad swung around the turn in the road they were delighted to see that Sergeant Mullins was in charge. He brought the boys to a sharp halt at sight of them, and came forward to meet them, saluting gravely. "Are you in trouble?" he asked, with his quiet smile and a glance at the stalled machine. "May I help?" "Oh, would you?" cried Betty, her pretty forehead puckered. "We do want to get back before the storm breaks." Without a word, the young fellow removed his jacket and examined the machine carefully. Then, with equal gravity, he wormed his way under the car. In what seemed to the girls no more than a minute, he reappeared and smiled at them. "I guess it's all right now," he assured them with another punctilious salute. "If I might suggest that there's no time to be lost "with a significant glance toward the lowering sky. For answer, Mollie threw in the clutch and the machine purred evenly.
