"Is that what you mean, Koku?" asked the young inventor, after a pause. "Did some stranger come here one day when I was out, after I had made my new powder, and did he give you some 'dope' to put in it?" "What you mean by 'dope'?" "I mean any sort of stuff." "Yes, man give me something like sugar, and I sprinkle it on new powder for to surprise Master."
"I mean professional beauty," said my hearer. "She is greatly and widely admired," I answered, cautiously. "Any sisters?" "One." "You know any more girls?" "Why, several," I answered. "And a few others." "Say," said Mack, "tell me one thing can you hand out the dope to other girls? Can you chin 'em and make matinée eyes at 'em and squeeze 'em? You know what I mean.
But a few of them nervous old boys, who was placid enough at annual meetin's watchin' a melon bein' cut, just couldn't stand the strain. Every time they got fed up on some new dope from the Wall Street panic peddlers, they'd come around howlin' for a safe and sane policy.
"Old Heinz has gone to his Moki, I guess, and Aubrey's gone to collect more dope at the Crillon. He says four in the morning when the drunks come home is the prime time for a newspaper man." "And the Monkish man?" "Search me." The streets were full of men and girls hurrying to work. Everything sparkled, had an air of being just scrubbed.
That was the method by which the gang got rid of their traitor." "Clever," said Sir Stanley, putting his finger-tips together. "They knew just the condition of mind in which Hanson would be when he came into court. They had the dope ready, and they knew that the detectives would allow the usher to bring the man water, when they would not allow anybody else to approach him.
"And these," he concluded, "are the dope and the book-o'-the-words." Both Finucane and Sir Gregory started forward as if to take possession, but Dick drew back. "No," he said, "I didn't go looting for my country's sake, nor the world's. I just happened to pick up two little things belonging to a friend of mine."
So Larkin was chuckin' something on the table, was he! But this other dope, "Teg morf rednu?" Say, I'd come back to that after every bite. I wrote it out on an envelope, tried runnin' it together and splittin' it up diff'rent, and turned it upside down. Then in a flash I got it. When Mr. Robert sails in from the club I was waitin' for him. He'd heard a rumor that Grebel was to retire soon.
For one thing, I want to get hold of every bit of dope I can regarding Warren who he was, where he came from, what he did, the size of his bank deposits, his business connections, his social life, and especially every morsel of gossip that's ever been circulated about him in connection with women." "H-m! You think this dame was a society sort?" "Probably.
"Thought 'Town Gossip' specialized in butlers and ladies' maids and such or faked up its dope in the office." "This is something special." The young gentleman's smiling but unpresuming camaraderie seemed unruffled by the colonel's blunt contempt, and though they all drew apart from him he seemed to be untroubled by his journalistic ostracism.
Archer said nothing, but looked at Tom just as he had first looked at him a year ago, and tried to dope him out. For a few paces they walked in silence. "If you take a chance, I take a chance with you," Archer said. "If anybody should discover us and call for us to halt, I'm not going to halt," said Tom. "Believe me, I'll sprint," said Archer, "but that part's a cinch anyway "
