"Oh! P'r'aps Tabitha's making 'em keep still."
"Do you think Tabitha knows we did it?" cried Toady in alarm.
"Naw, you ninny! That is, not 'nless Glory's gone and squealed."
"But——"
"I meant she'd prob'ly try to hush them up if they had heard our racket, so's the whole town wouldn't know about the burglars."
"Why? That's just what is worrying me. If she has hushed them up, it's just to make us believe she doesn't suspect. I'll bet the constable will be up there bright and early with his d'tectives, asking all sorts of questions, and everyone in Silver Bow will join in the hunt."
"Then we'll be found out even if Glory doesn't tell."
Toady nodded gloomily.
"It'll go hard with us if the constable should find out who did it."
Again Toady nodded.
