him. "Here I am," he said. "What do you want, and how did you know I was in
town?"
"I didn't know," said Murray. "I got a swell job for you, and so I sent out word to
get you."
"
You're in luck then," said the Lizard. "I just blew in this morning. What kind of a
job you got?"
Murray explained at length.
"They got a watchman," he concluded, "but I've got a guy on de inside that'll fix
him."
"When do I pull this off?" asked the Lizard.
"In about a week. I'll let you know the night later. Dey ordinarily draw the
payroll money Monday, the same day dey pay, but dis week they'll draw it
Saturday and leave it in the safe. It'll be layin' on top of a bunch of books and
papers. Dey're de t'ings you're to destroy. As I told you, it will all be fixed from de
inside. Dere's no danger of a pinch. All you gotta do is crack de safe, put about a
four or five t'ousand dollar roll in your pocket, and as you cross de river drop a
handful of books and papers in. Nothin' to it--it's the easiest graft you ever had."
"
You're sure dat's all?" asked the Lizard.
Sure thing!" replied Murray.
