Chapter V
A QUESTION OF STOCKS "Some rain, believe me!" It was Dave who uttered the remark, as the touring-car commenced the long and dangerous descent of Sugar Hill. A sheet of water was dashing against the wind-shield, which had been raised as high as possible. "I wish it was driving the other way," answered Roger, who was peering forward. "It covers the glass so I can hardly see."
