“Quiet now,” Bob whispered to the others.
In less than twenty steps they suddenly came to a clearing, and to his great surprise Bob saw that the place was the North West Carry.
“What do you know about that,” he whispered, turning to Rex who was just behind him. “We were within two minutes’ walk of the place and never knew it.”
“Hush,” Rex whispered.
“Do you live in the store?” Bob asked the child.
“Yeth, baby live in store.”
“Come on,” Bob ordered. “It’s the store they’re trying to rob.”
The store was only a few feet from where they had stopped, and in another minute they were on the little porch.
“Hush,” Rex again whispered. “I can hear voices.”
“Yes, there’s someone in there all right,” Bob agreed, as the sound of angry voices came plainly to their ears.
