I‘m being friendly because we‘re partners from now on. It‘s going to be a slightly different relationship, you see." "I watched that ‘plane pretty closely," he contirued. "I even saw these beauâ€" ties drop." He tapped the two boxes. "Evidently the pilot didn‘t realize what had happened, for he went straight on, having steadied his machine. I was curious. Always have been curious abcut things. You know what hapâ€" pened next. And here the gold is." Wicks took a step forward, placed his handful of coirs on the table and caught Drew by the shoulder.

By the time you‘ve sold them to dealers in little lots and cleared about a quartâ€" er of them everybody may ‘be back on the gold standard again, in which case they won‘t be worth so much." Wicks gave a sardonic laugh. "I‘m not a fool!" he cried. "I know how ts deal with a little matter like this. You know, I thought something was going to happen when I stood on deck ard watched that ‘plane. I had an idea that this was going to be raâ€" ther a long journey. Then I forgot about my nction. I was too interested in watching the pilot of that skyâ€"bus. Low clouds evidently bothered him. He almost looked as though he thought of coming down in the sea. I thought he was a gonngr when the machine gave a sudden lurch." "Partners what in?" Drew demanded. "You wait until I come to that," said Wicks, picking up some of the coins and jingling them in his great fist. a trawlerâ€"not a thief. We‘ve got one thing we can doâ€"and that is to turn this stuff over to the authorities." Wicks thrust his hands deep into the porkets of his rather soilled jJacket. ‘"‘That‘s your idea, is it?" "It is Idon‘t fancy spending several meonths in prison. It might be a longâ€" er stretch; something running into years. The law takes rather decided views when it comes to proptrty, you know." Wicks laughed. "YOUVE GOT TO MAKE A CHOICE" "Have you ever walked the streets looking for a job?" he asked. "You know I have." "Yes. I was just reminding you. Have you ever known what it was like to go hungry?" chines. Bad luck for us, in a way. There could well have been a larger consignmernt. But in that case it might have been a better ‘plane, and then there wouldn‘t have been anything for us to salve from out of the mud. Doesn‘t do to grumble just when Fate‘s starting to be kind to you." Drew shcok his head. "You can‘t be serious about hangâ€" ing on to the money." he proteste@ Drew shook himself free. "I don‘t!
