Frank may
tell us something that will give us an opening to talk to him about this
matter, and you can then tell him what you heard the men say."
"I guess that's the best plan," admitted Ned.
"Perhaps we could learn something more of the men who were in the house,"
suggested Fenn.
"How?"
"By going down there and making inquiries. I know those buildings.
There's a watchman hired to stay on guard all night. Perhaps he saw the
men and could tell us who they were."
"It's a good idea," said Ned. "We'll go down and see him to-morrow night.
That will be Sunday, and there's not likely to be any one around to hear
us question him."
"We must not take Frank along," remarked Bart. "We'll have to keep this
thing quiet from him, at least until we know more about it."
"It's the first time we haven't all been in a thing together," commented
Ned. "It seems queer to have something on Frank doesn't know about."
"We're doing the best we know how," said Bart. "It's for Frank's interest
we're working. I hope it will all come out right."
Sunday evening the three chums went to the building where Ned had been
taken by the Upside Down boys.
