"I axed him for some old clothes. He told me to come up to-night and he'd give me some."
"That's good," said Jack, approvingly. "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."
Julius nodded.
"I'll do my best," he said.
"What time are you going up?"
"In an hour or so."
"I hope we'll make a haul, Marlowe," said Jack. "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."
"Where would you go, supposin' you got the money?" asked his companion.
"I'd go to California. They don't know me there. Something might turn up for me."
"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?"
