The purr of a good motor was soon under them.

In a few moments they were out of Sim Gage's lane and along the highway as far as the point where the Tepee Creek trail turned off into the mountains.
"Wait here, Doc," said Wid, "Sim and me want to have a look--we know the track of that car that done the work down here." But when they bent over the trail, they saw that it was different from what it had been when they left it the night before! Wid cursed aloud, and Sim Gage joined him heartily.
"It's wiped out," said Sim.

"Some one's been over this trail since last night.

This car ain't got no busted tire." "That may be the very man that came down and called me!" exclaimed Doctor Barnes.
"I heard him when he went down the road," nodded Nels Jensen--"last night.

I'll bet that's the same car.
