"I'll have to know more than that before I can answer you, Nan," she said. "It's the only way to stop it!" Gypsy Nan whispered feverishly. "I won't split on my pals I won't I won't! But I trust you. Will you promise not to snitch if I tell you how to stop it, even if you don't go there yourself? I'm offering you a chance to stop a twenty-thousand-dollar haul.
It came when the hated snitch for gangdom hates the informer worse than anything else dead or alive had turned a sufficiently dark and deserted corner. A muffled thud, a stifled groan followed as a heavy section of lead pipe wrapped in a newspaper descended on the crass skull of Limpy.
Finally he said, earnestly: "I wasn't no boob, Mr. Cleggett. It was a snitch got ME settled. I was a good cracksman, honest I was. But I never had no luck." "I intended no reflection on your professional ability," said Cleggett, politely. "Oh, that's all right, Mr. Cleggett," said Elmer, forgivingly. "Nobody's feelin's is hoited. And any friend of th' little dame here is a friend o' mine."
Besides, though honor was strong in him and he would never "snitch" on his companions, it would certainly be better to find out as much as possible about the scheme. There might be other ways besides "snitching" of stopping such things. Then suddenly his heart almost stopped beating, Madison Avenue! Sam had said Madison Avenue, and a girl! What if it were Starr's jewels they were planning to take.
He saw in the sly expression of the boy's eyes that he knew whom he meant. But he shook his head. "You know where she went," was the schooner captain's accusation. "Where is she?" "I I can't tell you," stammered the boy. "I promised not." A promise is a promise, especially to a small boy who scorns to "snitch." Tunis thought a moment.
If he refused, if he attempted to stall on Clancy, Clancy's threat to stamp him in the eyes of the underworld as a snitch meant ruin and disaster, absolute and final, for "Smarlinghue" would then have to disappear; on the other hand, to be allied with the police increased his present risks a thousandfold and they were already hazardous enough!
But Micky was no coward, and stood his ground; all the more firmly that he fully grasped the man's precarious position, in the very house where he had been once before captured. He answered resolutely: "I could snitch upon you this minute, master, if I was to choose. But you aren't no concern of mine, further than I've got a message for you."
Then, after a moment, he added, "But Ah don't care if yoh know, because Ah knows yoh ain't no snitch. Ah was hangin' 'round waitin' to meet Mistah Mate when he ain't got them othah two debbils wif him. Ah was waitin' 'round to meet dat man alone.
"You you " The Magpie's flashlight, as he shifted it from his right hand to his left and wrenched out his revolver, had fallen upon two men crouched close against the wall by the library door and he screamed out in an access of fury. "De double cross! A plant! De bulls! You damned snitch, Larry!" screamed out the Magpie and fired. The bullet tore into the carpet beside Jimmie Dale.
They don't take long to square things with anyone who raps to the 'bulls." "That's right," agreed Garrick. "And the underworld isn't alone in that feeling. No one likes a 'snitch." "Bet your life," emphasized Herman heartily, then edging toward the door, he said, "Well, gentlemen, I'm glad to meet you and I'll work with you. I wish you success, all right. It's a hard case.
