Madame Bearsaud would put statues of Billy, Bobby, and Bert Bogg, three local-yokel criminals, in her world-famous museum?”
    â€œNow that you mention it, it does seem a little odd,” said Fred. Then his eyes widened in the semi-darkness. “You mean …”
    â€œThat’s right,” said Brother. “Those aren’t statues. Those are the real live Bogg Brothers pretending to be statues …”
    The last words out of Brother’s mouth before the Bogg Brothers grabbed him and Fred and covered their mouths were, “Help, Chief!”

    As if on cue, Chief Bruno burst into the room. “Back off or I’ll shoot!” he cried. His pistol was pointing at Billy, the head Bogg.
    â€œOkay, Chief, you got us,” said Billy, putting up his hands. Bobby and Bert did likewise.
    â€œAll right, you three!” barked the chief. “Empty your pockets!”
    Out of Bert Bogg’s pocket came Queen Elizabear’s pearl earrings and a ruby-encrusted bracelet. Out of Bobby Bogg’s pocket came Queen Elizabear’s beautiful pearl necklace. And out of Billy Bogg’s pocket came … nothing.
    â€œTurn around!” ordered the chief.
    Billy Bogg turned his back to Chief Bruno.
    â€œWell, well,” said the chief. “First time I ever noticed that your backside is shaped like a crown. Come on, out with it!”

    Billy pulled the crown from his pants and glared at Chief Bruno. Keeping his pistol trained on Billy, the chief turned to the cubs and said, “While I don’t like to see cubs messing around with dangerous criminals, I’ll say this: as a policebear and as a citizen, it does my heart good to know we’ve caught the three Bogg Brothers red-handed.”

    â€œWould you like to try for four?” came a voice from the rear. It was Officer Marguerite. She was standing in the rear exit with Igor, who was in handcuffs. And she was holding his ill-gotten gains: Lady Grizzly’s priceless necklace.
    â€œFour what?” asked Chief Bruno.
    â€œFour Bogg Brothers,” Marguerite answered. “Found him in the getaway car with the motor running.”
    Chief Bruno and the cubs took a good look at Igor. He was no longer shambling and bent over. And though he was taller, slimmer, and better looking than Billy, Bobby, and Bert, he looked every inch a Bogg.
    â€œIs this guy your brother?” Chief Bruno asked Billy Bogg.
    â€œYep,” said Billy. “As much as I hate to admit it, he’s our brother Buster. Sort of the black sheep of the family. He went and became an international jewel thief.” He shook his head sadly. “Don’t know where we went wrong with that one.”
    â€œOkay, Marguerite,” said the chief. “Cuff the rest of ’em and get them all into the police wagon.”
    â€œYou know, Fred,” said Brother as the Boggs were led out in handcuffs, “if I’d realized why Igor looked so familiar—just like a Bogg brother—I’d have known that those workbears were the Bogg Brothers and prevented this whole mess from happening.”
    â€œTrue,” said Fred. “But think of it this way: one cub’s mess is another cub’s Great Adventure.”
    Brother smiled and nodded.
    â€œHey,” said Fred, “let’s go get some of that leftover food. I’m hungry.”

Chapter 13
    Downhill Summer
    It turned out that Chief Bruno had been on the lookout for jewel thieves the moment he’d heard about Lady Grizzly’s plan to wear her diamond necklace to the grand opening of Madame Bearsaud’s. But he never for a minute suspected Madame Bearsaud’s assistant, Igor. And neither had Madame Bearsaud.

    For years afterward, the grand madame was too embarrassed to tell anyone how Buster Bogg had fooled her into believing he was “Igor” from faraway Grizzylvania. But Beartown folks understood how it could have happened when they read the
