TIP SATISFIES HIS CRAVING--AND LOSES "Let's step over and see how it happened, Hugh!" As Hugh himself was not averse to picking up some information along that same line, the two chums entered the station-house just after the Chief and his man.

The latter officer had placed the large package done up in a burlap bag on the floor.

He was grinning, as though considerably pleased with the final results of the raid.
Chief Wambold, too, was indulging in a smile as the boys entered; he even winked one eye at Thad, as though in a particularly good humor.
But there was one person present who did not seem to be in a happy frame of mind.

That was Tip.

He looked "in the dumps," as Thad expressed it; and on seeing the boys enter dropped his chin upon his breast in shame.
