Jefferson, and dad, and Uncle Dick went to see." "When?" "The other day. Didn't they tell you about it?" "No, sir." When Mr. Mole addressed his pupil as "sir," young Jack knew pretty well that he thought he was being humbugged. There is an old saying "Jack was as good as his master." Putting on a look of injured innocence, he called his comrade Harry to corroborate what he had said.
But Shibo interfered. He pushed his hand into the pocket of the smoking-jacket and drew out a pocket-book. It bulged with bills. In two sentences Shibo sketched a plan of operations. They would steal the money and lay the blame for it on the Hulls. Cunningham's own testimony would convict the fat man and his wife. The evidence of the two Japanese would corroborate his.
