and there’s one in-between!”

But suddenly Sam waved his paper about.

“Well, I’ve got some news, guys!” he said with a shout . . .

“And what about Rover’s

new hairdo?” grinned Fred.

“It looks like a parrot

has perched on his head!”

But suddenly Sam waved his paper about.

Word’s out that the bank is the next job she’ll do!”

“Oh, heavens!” shrieked Duchess. “My bracelets and rings!

“This calls for a top-secret

“With top-secret buns

filled with top-secret jam!”
