CHAPTER  I

AN  EXPERT   PACKER

"ALL  packed?"  inquired  Robert  Owen,  in-
serting his  head  through  the  door  of  Number  7
Hale  and  sweeping  the  scene  of  confusion  with  a
curious  glance.  Satisfied  to  accept  the  evidence
of  his  eyes  in  lieu  of  a  definite  reply,  Owen  was
just  closing  the  door  again  when  one  of  the
Peck  twins,  who  inhabited  the  room,  sang  out:
"Hi  there,  Bobby!  Come  in  here  a  minute!"

Owen  let  himself  in  and  set  his  back  against  the
door.
"You  call  that  packing,  do  you?"  he  asked,
looking  with  a  grin  of  amusement  at  a  big  trunk
which  gaped  at  him  with  wide-distended  jaws,
the  whole  front  of  the  tray  showing  like  a  flaunt-
ing tongue.  "Whose  trunk  is  that?"

and  put  them  in  yours?'

"Because  he's  going  straight  home,  and  I'm
not,"  retorted  Duncan.
