"Naw. The man with the kid is in Philadelf. That's the way I lay it out."
"That's it," cried Andy. "I see! He wanted to get away on the steamer, and Mr. Roberts was afraid there would be detectives on the watch; so he dressed the little boy up just like Regy to make the trial first. Then, when he found that the steamer would be watched, the man with Regy went to Philadelphia."
"That sounds like it," said Pete, approvingly.
"Yes," continued Andy; "but I don't understand what Uncle Mike has to do with it."
"No more do I," answered Pete. "But I tell yer what yer can do. Yer can go on an' find out."
"Go to Philadelphia?" exclaimed Andy.
"Why not?"
"It'll take too much money."
"Huh! won't take a cent."
"Why not?"
