The faithful servant failed to carry out these instructions and took the silverware to the bank. Soon the front door opened silently with a bang, and XVhite Eagle the famous robber. crept silently in the back way. Once inside he told off his stockings and filled them with sil- verware, then he took a knife and cut down all the oil paintings from the roof. So quiet were his actions that the servant, who was in the kitchen eating, knew nothing of his actions till a detective rushed in and said: 'tSh-h-h-h, there 's a robber down cellar stealing things from the attic. So hand in hand they skipped off to the attic and saw Black Hawk opening one of the French win- dows near the furnace. 'tStop, whispered the detective, but Black Eaglet threw his boomerang at them and knocked them out. Two days later, as they awoke, they resumed the chase and after two days, 2315 hours, 591g seconds of hard running they sighted the thief entering Yellowstone Park near the Mexican border.
