Hum, that's Mr. Washington,
gpt
Great Scott! Uncle Sam won't let him get away with anything like that.
human
I should say not. The Secret Service department is already at work trying to find out who the dickens he is.
gpt
That will be a sweet job,
human
Talk about a needle in a haystack,
gpt
Not a patch on it,
human
I'll tell you it's stirred up a fuss here, he said.
gpt
I wonder who it can be.
human
Maybe that Italian fellow who invented the sliding sounder,
gpt
Or Pederson, out in Chicago,
human
Gracious, what a fuss I've stirred up, thought Jack, with a quiet smile.
gpt
They'd never guess in a million years that it's a kid of an operator who's causing all the trouble.
human
No; both the men you mentioned are in Europe, declared Washington.
gpt
The department's been trailing them since they got my news.
human
Well, the wireless men are going to be a happy hunting ground for the Secret Service fellows for this one little while,
gpt
Wonder if he's listening now?
human
Shouldn't wonder,
gpt
You fellows are having a grand old pow-wow, he said.
human
Sorry I can't give you any information. I know you're dying of curiosity.
gpt
You've got your nerve, I must say, sputtered Washington indignantly.
human
Have you been listening right along?
gpt
Yes; that Secret Service hunt is going to be very interesting.
human
It won't be very interesting for you, whoever you are, when they get you, thundered the mighty _Florida_.
gpt
It's bad business monkeying with Uncle Sam.
human
Maybe they won't get me,
gpt
Oh, yes, they will, came from Washington,
human
M-M-M,
