“Just like that,” the big man grinned. “Let me see that thing.”
Reluctantly Jimmie turned over his camera.
“Neat little trick,” said the man. “How much do they cost?”
“A little over a hundred dollars,” Jimmie took back his treasure with a sigh of relief.
“Thunder! That’s a lot for a thing you can hide in the palm of your hand,” the big man exclaimed.
“Made like a watch,” said Jimmie proudly. “When you’ve got one you’ve got something. I took a picture of a fellow’s ear last night. May send him to prison.”
“Well, I’d say he’d better cover up his ears,” laughed the big man. “By the way, you might like to see what was in that bill-fold.”
“Sure—sure, I would,” Jimmie moved closer.
“There it is.”
Jimmie saw a slip of paper. “Huh!” he chuckled. “Check for a half million. Stage money, I suppose.”
