The Missing Chums

'There's one question I'd like to have answered,' Joe said, coming back to the present. 'Who were Stark and Moran waiting for on the pier the night Dad trailed them?'

'For Pops,' Lieutenant Daley replied. 'He was supposed to meet them there in a small boat and help pull off another theft-this time valuable radios from Germany.'

Pat Muster chortled. 'But the weather was uncertain and the big, bold bandit said he was

afraid to make the trip!'

Frank spoke up. 'One last question. Why was Pops called Pops, anyhow?'

'Because he drinks soda pop all the time,' replied Chet. 'His favorite is some stuff named Fizzle.'

'I wonder,' said Joe with a grin, 'if he'll be served any Fizzle in jail!'
