There was a silent pause for a few seconds, then Mr. Stormways burst out laughing. “Well, seriously, fellow,” he said, “don’t you think that you ought to stop keeping company with gangsters and all that?”
“I’ll try, Dad.”
Just then Jack’s younger brother spoke up and asked for details of the story and Jack complied by telling all of it.
CHAPTER XXVII
Mystery of the White Card
The boys were at the Morrison home waiting for Mr. Grey to appear. They had hundreds of questions to ask him and they hoped that he would clear up the mystery of the white card.

“But it was you who originally began to follow him,” said Ken.
