"You'll have to sign this, too."
"Sign what?"
Snorky read rapidly:
"I, Doc Macnooder, in my third form year, Lawrenceville, New Jersey, hereby testify that on this date, the 12th day of April, 1896, the information written on the back of the present sheet of paper was communicated to me by John C. Bedelle, the rightful and lawful inventor, and the document does hereby establish all his rights. Signed—"
"Yes, but what's on the other side?" said Macnooder, with rising curiosity.
"That can only be communicated to you after your signature."
Macnooder was wary, but Macnooder was inquisitive. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully and considered.
"Is Dink Stover in this, or the Tennessee Shad?" he asked cautiously.
"Not a soul besides us two has the slightest suspicion."
