He's done murder." "Murder!" "I'll tell you about it to-morrow on the way over." "Where is he?" "At Kate Prentice's at headquarters." Mrs. Taylor stiffened.

He listened, but he had not promised.
"And somebody's old shoe!" put in Bert, but he didn't bother pulling that out of the mud. "Oh, there's Nellie Prentice's rubber doll!" exclaimed Harry. "August and Ned were playing ball with it and let it fly in the well." Harry wiped the mud off the doll and brought it over to Nan.
