"We've missed some more biscuit," whispered the fat boy.

"How many?"

"Twenty since breakfast."

"Didn't we eat them for dinner?"

"Not a bisc."

"Hm-m! You are quite sure you didn't help yourself?" questioned Tad quizzically.

"Help myself? Help myself?" demanded Chunky indignantly. "Do I look as if I had twenty biscuit inside of me?"

"I can't answer that question," laughed Tad. "But to return to what I was saying, are you going to behave yourself tonight?"

"About what?"

"About frightening Chops," insisted Tad.
