"Does he know where he left the money?" asked Tommy.
"Sure I know where I left my money, you young Jackanapes!" declared Carson. "I pointed out the exact hiding place only a few moments ago!"
"You found it empty?"
"Yes, I found it empty!" roared Carson.
"Then," Tommy suggested, "we've all got to get busy."
"What do you mean by that?" demanded Carson.
Before Tommy could reply, Will came sliding down the rope and landed within a few feet of where the little group stood.
"Look here, Will," Tommy said, "Are you sure we made a good search of those three ginks? They've got the money all right!"
"How do you know they did?" demanded Will.
