"Have you a place where I can store this car for a while?" asked Ted.
"I sure have," said Don. "You can run it right into the basement from
the back yard. When these flats were built it was intended that the
basement be used as a garage, but so far none of the tenants have shown

the machine out of there,"
"That's the only thing I fear," said Ted. "It's a cinch that the owner,
if he is a thief who has escaped with a pot of money, as I strongly
suspect, will have his pals try to get it back. And I don't want them to
get it until I have used it to try to trace them."
"I'll bet a cooky ther feller with ther checked suit wuz after ther
machine himself," said Bud. "When we eloped with it he came holler in'
after us ter bring it back, but we gave him the glazed look an' left him
fannin' ther air in our wake."
The boys rolled the motor car into the basement, which was securely
locked.
