Without delay he wrote a note offering to pay the money demanded, agreeing to deliver it at any spot they might name, and vowing to share his secret with no one.
"Now what have you to say?" he demanded solemnly. In a lead-pencil scrawl Jack read: "Mr. Black: Your yung operatur Orr can tell you sumthin about thet cash box, he was showin the key of the box to sumone yesteday and i saw him. Mebee you will finde the key in his offis cote. "Yours, a frend." "It is the key," said the manager, producing a small key on a ring.
