CHAPTER XIV 

WHAT A ROMAN CANDLE DID 

It was a time for quick action, and it was a lucky thing that Dick Rover had been in perilous positions before and knew enough not to lose his presence of mind. As the others in the automobile arose to leap out he called to them: 

"Sit down! Don't jump! I'll look out for things!" 

Then, even as he spoke, Dick turned the steering wheel and sent the big machine crashing into the bushes to one side of the roadway. He chose a spot that was comparatively level, and in five seconds they came to a halt just in front of half a dozen trees. 

"We must take care of Tom's machine!" cried Sam, and leaped over the back of the automobile. The machine had cut down the bushes, so the path was clear and he ran with might and main to the roadway. At the top of the hill was the second car, coming along at a good speed. 

"Stop! stop!" he yelled, frantically, and waved his arms in the air. 

Tom saw the movement and knew at once something was wrong. He threw off the power and applied the emergency brake and the automobile just passed Sam and no more. 

"What's the matter?" came from everyone in the second car. 

"That's what's the matter," answered Sam, pointing to the foot of the rocky hill. "That wagon--Well, I declare!" 

The youngest Rover stared and well he might, for the farmer's turnout with the load of lime had disappeared from view. The farmer had turned into a field at the bottom of the hill just as Dick turned his car into the bushes.  QUESTIONS:
