They sUiffed their ears with cotton.

Nonetheless, Benny's snorts, whistles, and cackles woke Encyclopedia several times during the night. Benny's cry of dismay woke him at dawn.

“My wallet! It's gone!” Benny wailed. “I had ten dollars and my library card in it!”

Encyclopedia and Charlie helped Benny search the tent. Todd and Garth sat and watched.

“It isn't here.” Benny groaned.

“Oh, yes, it is,” Todd said. “Right, Charlie?”

“What do you mean?” Charlie demanded.

“Ill show you,” Todd answered.

He went to Charlie's knapsack and pulled out a black wallet. “Is this yours, Benny?”

Benny gasped, “Y-yes,” as Charlie stared in disbelief.

“Benny's snoring woke me about an hour ago,” Todd stated. “The wallet was behind him on his air mattress. I guess it fell out of his back pocket while he was sleeping.”

Encyclopedia raised an eyebrow.

“Charlie didn't know I was awake,” Todd went on. “He was sitting up, rubbing his ears. He saw the wallet and hid it in his knapsack.”

Encyclopedia gazed at the number 12 on the front and back of Benny's Detroit Lions shirt.

“If the wallet was behind Benny,” the detective said to Todd, “then he lay snoring with his back to you?”

Todd grinned. “That's right.”

“That's wrong,” the detective said. “You stole the wallet and tried to frame Charlie.”
