The property was surrendered—the bonds, all the jewelry and all the money to a cent—and placed in the hands of Ike, who, when he met his "side partner" at their home, said:
"Well, Jack, I didn't need you. I caught my fish easy."
"Yes, 'dead easy,' as the two robbers said."
"They missed, I won."
"You did."
"So much for this adventure. To-morrow I will return the stolen property to the owner, and then——"
"What then?"
"We will lie around for a new adventure. We're having a heap of fun."
"We are, and doing a heap of good even if I say it myself."
