Frank and Joe Hardy clutched the grips of their motorcycles and stared in horror at the oncoming car.

Joe Hardy quickly led the way into the swampy area as the other boys trooped along, everyone talking at once.  When they reached the spot, Chet examined the tire and exclaimed:

"There's no mistake about it!  This is one of the tires!  When the thief put on the new one, he threw this away."

"Perhaps the Queen is still around," suggested Frank quickly.  "The thief may have picked this road as a good place to hide your jalopy until he could make a getaway."

"It would be an ideal place," Chet agreed.  "People coming to Willow Grove have to park at the gate, so nobody would come in here.  But this old road comes in from the main highway.  Let's take a look, fellows."

A scrutinizing search was begun along the abandoned road in the direction of the highway.  A moment later Frank and Chet, in the lead, cried out simultaneously.

"Here's a bypath!  And here are tire marks!"  Frank exclaimed.  To one side was a narrow roadway, almost overgrown with weeds and low bushes.  It led from the abandoned road into the depths of the woods.

Without hesitation Frank and Chet plunged into it.  Presently the roadway widened out, then wound about a heavy clump of trees.  It came to an end in a wide clearing.

In the clearing stood Chet Morton's lost jalopy!

"My Queen!" he yelled in delight.  "Her own license plates!"

His shout was heard by the rest of the boys, who came on a run.  Chet's joy was boundless.  He examined the car with minute care, while his chums crowded around.  At last he straightened up with a smile of satisfaction.

"She hasn't been damaged a bit.  All ready to run.  The thief just hid the old bus in here and made a getaway.  Come on, fellows, climb aboard.  Free ride to the highway!"

Before leaving, the Hardys examined footprints left by the thief.  "He wore sneakers," Frank observed.

Suddenly Chet swung open the door and looked on the floor.  "You mean he wore my sneakers.  They're gone."

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
