As for Miss
Prescott and The Wren, they cowered back in the tonneau in keen alarm.
"Oh!" cried Peggy suddenly, "there comes a runabout; that ram will
surely collide with it!"
A runabout coming in the opposite direction dashed round a corner of the
country road at this juncture. The driver was a young girl, but she was
veiled and her features could not be seen under the thick face covering.
Apparently the ram saw the other car coming, for the animal actually
appeared to make a halfway intelligent effort to steer the car out of
the road.
For her part the girl in the runabout swerved her car from side to side
in a struggle to avoid a collision, which appeared inevitable.
"Stop it!" shrieked Bess; "she'll be killed."
CHAPTER XV.
A RAMBUNCTIOUS RAM.
The ram evidently saw the other car coming; it tried to leap out but its
hoofs were jammed in the spokes of the steering wheel. Before Jake could
pick himself up from the floor of the front part of the car there came
a loud shriek from the runabout. It was echoed by Miss Prescott and
The Wren.
