“What are you fellows up to?” he asked.
“Nothing,” answered Chub with great unconcern. “Just talking.”
“Yes,” agreed Roy, “just talking.”
“You don’t say!” responded Dick with a grin. “What are you going to do to-night?”
“Study,” answered Chub promptly. “I’ve got a lot to do. And so has Roy. We’re going to be busy.”
“That’s all right; so am I,” said Dick. “Don’t let me disturb you. See you later.”
He put his cap on and walked unhurriedly toward the door.
“Watch him!” hissed Chub.
The door closed behind him. Silently they waited a moment. Then both sprang toward the portal and as Roy put his hand on the knob it was opened quickly from without and Dick confronted them.
