Excerpt from The Typhoon's Secret
If a man can get through college, and the world, in a six-cylinder Green Flyer," said Wentworth, "I will manage."

"There is a rather complete wardrobe besides the Green Flyer. And I have a couple of hundred dollars in my pocket at this moment. I do not know of anything else."
He laughed a little, because - well, because a man must laugh when he has come to the jumping-off place. Then he blew a cloud of smoke from his cigarette out into the moonlight.
"Anyway, it is up to me to go and see," he went on. "I never knew much about the Dad's affairs. There was always plenty. But the Green Flyer will take me as far as San Francisco, and with any thing like luck I should make the run in something under twenty hours. That will land me there before sunset to-morrow."
"You mean to go to-night?" exclaimed Allison.
