If you keep quiet we'll never say a word, and you've got a perfectly good dynamite conspiracy, with all the evidence you need to put the Reds out of business, and you can just figure it cost you fifty thousand dollars, and it was cheap at the price, because Nelse Ackerman has paid a whole lot more for your work, and you never got anything half as big as this.
George," answered Jake, shaking his fist at the man who had been so unceremoniously introduced into the room. "Give it to him good an' strong, Zeke! Well! I'll be blessed! Won't you, Bob?" This exclamation was called forth by an action on the part of George Ackerman that astonished Jake and Bob beyond measure.
But what could Nelse Ackerman have told that was so very bad? "You were going to have a spy of your own, set up your own bureau, and kick me out, perhaps!" "My God!" thought Peter. "Who told that?"

He repeated the question, and it appeared that he really wanted an answer, and so Peter stammered, "N-n-no, sir."

When he rose to take his departure, Mr. Ackerman slipped his trembling fingers into the pocket of his jacket, and pulled out a crisp and shiny note. He unfolded it, and Peter saw that it was a five hundred dollar bill, fresh from the First National Bank of American City, of which Mr. Ackerman was chairman of the board of directors.
