The Wowzer and his pal it was Dago Jim it seemed had evidently been drinking and loitering their way downtown from the theatre, and he had gained that much on them; but by now they would be smugly tucked away somewhere in that maze of dens below the ground, and at that moment probably were gloating over the biggest night's haul they had ever made in their lives! And if they were! What then?
An' de word's out not to do any pushin' an' crowdin' around de Mole's fer front seats, 'cause den de bulls 'd get wise savvy? Just leave it to de Mole get me?" "Sure I get you," said Jimmie Dale. "Well, so long, Wowzer and thanks again." "S'long, Smarly," replied the Wowzer.
There was a yell and an oath from the Wowzer the crack of another revolver shot, the hum of the bullet past Jimmie Dale's ear, the scorch of the tongue flame in his face, and he was upon the other.

"Why didn't youse open it an' read it, den, instead of lettin' me do it to keep me busy while youse short-changed me?" sneered Dago Jim. "Youse t'ought it was some sweet billy-doo, eh? Well, t'anks, Wowzer dat's wot it is! Say," he mocked, "dere's a guy'll cash a t'ousand century notes fer dis, an' if he don't say, dere's SOME reward out fer the Gray Seal! Wouldn't youse like to know who it is?
It was very quiet much more quiet even than usual in that far from savoury neighbourhood. He remembered, with a grim smile of satisfaction, that the Wowzer had explained there was to be no crowding for front seats for fear of attracting the attention of the police. It had been very thoughtful of the Mole to pass that word around very!
The Wowzer, cute and cunning, had been quick enough to say so to clear himself, but Jimmie Dale smiled a little now neither the Wowzer, nor Chang Foo, nor Chinatown would ever be in a position to recognise their uninvited guest! Jimmie Dale's eyes shifted to the letter speculatively, gravely.
There was yet a chance, only one in a thousand, it was true, almost too pitiful to be depended upon but yet a chance. The Wowzer had probably not worked alone, and he and his pal, or pals, would certainly not remain uptown either to examine or divide their spoils they would wait until they were safe somewhere in one of their hell holes on the East Side. THAT was the chance!
The Wowzer, beyond a shadow of doubt, in his own profession stood upon a plane entirely by himself among those qualified to speak, no one yet had ever questioned the Wowzer's claim to the distinction of being the most dexterous and finished "poke getter" in the United States!
Keep 'em Wowzer, youse cross-eyed " "Everyt'ing I pinched to-night's on de table dere wid wot youse pinched yerself," cut in the Wowzer, in a sullen, threatening growl. "Youse lie, an' youse knows it!" retorted Dago Jim. "Youse have given me de short end every time we've pulled a deal!" "Dat letter's mine, youse " bawled the Wowzer furiously.
