While I occasionally was talking to the representative of the law, Mr. Slick sawhis opportunity and grabbed it by the hind leg. He had quietlyreached the door, and once outside the sledding was excellent.

Bunch had his business suit on under the burglar make-up. Itdidn't take him two minutes to work the shine darbies over hisarms. He then peeled off the ulster and the tuppeny trousers,and throwing these and the Svengalis over the fence, he was homeagain from the Bad Lands.

The transformation scene was made complete by the fact that Bunchwas now wearing my hat.
