"Where is your proof?"
One of the officers said:
"I wish we could find those two lads. They heard it."
"We can't find them."
The two men were ordered to report at the station house to answer charges for their lark, as the sergeant termed it. Other men were put on the beat and our two ventriloquists crawled forth from their hiding-places and Ike said:
"That was a pretty severe joke."
"Yes, it was very amusing."
"We must do something to save those men or they may be broke."
"How can we do it?"
"We can."
