Well, Julius, how are you getting on? asked Jack.
gpt
Have you found out anything more?
human
Not yet, Jack.
gpt
Then it's time you did.
human
I'm goin' up to the house to-night.
gpt
Does he know it?
human
Yes; he told me to come.
gpt
What made him do that?
human
I axed him for some old clothes. He told me to come up to-night and he'd give me some.
gpt
That's good, said Jack, approvingly.
human
Mind you keep your eyes open when you're there. Find out where the swag is kept. It'll save me and Marlowe some trouble.
gpt
I'll do my best,
human
What time are you going up?
gpt
In an hour or so.
human
I hope we'll make a haul, Marlowe, said Jack.
gpt
I haven't been in luck lately. If I could raise a thousand or so I'd clear out of these diggings. The cops know me too well.
human
Where would you go, supposin' you got the money?
gpt
I'd go to California. They don't know me there. Something might turn up for me.
human
I'll go with you, Jack, if you go. I've got tired of New York, and, as you say, they know me too well hereabouts. Will you take the boy?
gpt
No, said Jack carelessly.
human
He knows how to take care of himself. He'll be better off here.
