“Stop a moment,” cautioned Chick. “Get that policeman to help you, explaining who you are, and have him take away any stuff that may be in the hamper.”
“And you?”
“I’ll rush up-stairs, and keep those two women engaged till I’m sure you are well under cover.”
“Good enough!”
“And to-night you can count on me to lend a hand,” added Chick, “in case I am needed.”
“That’s the idea!” cried Patsy.
“Away with you, then, while I tackle the two women.”
Patsy hastened toward the deserted automobile, near which a policeman happened to be standing, and whose aid the former quickly obtained in the way Chick had suggested.
Chick, meantime, hastened into the building and up to the rooms of Madame Victoria.
