“Bigby is probably out raising funds,” remarked Cranston, “unless promises happen to be all that he can get. Take a look at Future Haven and tell me how it looks.”

“It looks like Coney Island,” returned Margo. A glittering array of lights came into sight upon the slope.

“If Brett isn’t home, he’s certainly giving the impression that he is.”

They wheeled around the hill and covered the long stretch past Brett’s driveway. It was Cranston who made the next observation. He pointed off through the windshield. In the cloud-flecked moonlight, Margo saw a distant batch of farm-buildings on the fringe of a wooded crest.

“Fairfield Farm,” identified Cranston, “and Tramrick can expect one visitor, at least.”

The car unleashed itself as Cranston spoke. It wasn’t because he was referring to himself as the caller who was due at Fairfield Farm. There was another reason why Cranston wanted to clip the remaining miles to that distant goal. On a road that crossed an intervening brow, two tiny headlights were climbing toward Fairfield Farm. They were moving so rapidly that all Cranston’s speed would not be enough to overtake them.

Margo Lane could picture only one man as the driver of that fast moving car. That man was everybody’s friend, Herbert Creswold.
