"Why, the robbery was done by Rae and some of his pals," explained
Jack. "They sent Monkey up between the buildings and he opened the
window and got in and then opened the doors for the others. When
they got through all they had to do was to walk out, and Monkey
closed and fastened the doors after them and went down the same
way as he got in."
"But how do you know that Rae did it?" asked Rand.
"By putting two and two together," replied Jack. "I knew that the
coins you found were like some that had been stolen. Monkey Rae
and Sam went over the road just before you found them. They had
not been lying there long, or they would have been covered up in
the dirt, or some one else would have found them."
"'Tis no way impossible," admitted Donald.
"Then some of the tools they used had been taken from Wilson's
blacksmith shop, and you know Dick said that Monkey and Sam used
to come in there almost every day, so that it was quite probable
that they took them; that's number two.
