of these places, maybe. What in the world did
Miss Hogarth choose a place like this for?”

“Maybe she didn't choose. Perhaps somebody
that needs things to eat lives here,” replied
Kathryn.

“I'd say you're right,” returned Chauncey.
“But I smell cabbage. Somebody has that much
anyway.”

Chauncey remained in the car, after helping
Budd lift out the larger of the baskets. Lilian
jumped out, though saying in a low tone to
Betty that she “certainly hated to go up that
stairway.”

“Well,” replied Betty, “it would probably be
better if there weren't too many. You stay with
Chauncey and Kathryn, Lilian. I'll go with
Budd.”

“Me, too,” said Kathryn, hopping out of the
car. “I see a policeman, Chauncey. We're all
right. He's coming this way.”

While the policeman really approached and
stopped a moment to chat with Chauncey, prob-
ably with an idea of protecting the good-look-
ing car and its occupants as well as with pos-
sible curiosity, Budd led the way upstairs to
the door on the third floor to which their in-
structions directed them. He set down the
basket and knocked.
