The Adventures of Jimmie Dale

CHAPTER I
39/43

Gee, kid, did you think I was?
Say, listen to this! I cracked old Isaac's safe half an hour ago--and I guess there won't be any idea going around that you got the money and I pulled a lemon.

Say, I ain't superstitious, but it looks like luck meant you to have another chance, don't it ?" The hat dropped from Hagan's hands to the floor, and he swayed a little.
"You--you ain't a dick!" he stammered.

"Then how'd you know about me and my name when you found the safe empty?
Who told you ?" A wry grimace spread suddenly over Jimmie Dale's face beneath the mask, and he swallowed hard.

Jimmie Dale would have given a good deal to have been able to answer that question himself.
"Oh, that!" said Jimmie Dale.

"That's easy--I knew you worked there.
Say, it's the limit, ain't it?
Talk about your luck being in, why all you've got to do is to sit tight and keep your mouth shut, and you're safe as a church.
