“ You think more of your pals' liberty than you do of your own. But that's your lookout, not mine. If you want to go to jail and leave Gerald Wynn and Bob Katz free to spend that fifteen thousand, why, have it that way."
Clancy's tone was relentless. Burton knew enough of the motor wizard to understand that he would do what he said he would. ”

“ I've got you securely. Do you want to save yourself, or don't you?"
"Save myself? How?"
"Why, by helping me get back that stolen money. Tell us where Gerald Wynn and Katz are hiding themselves, where the money is, and how we're to get hold of it."
"Think I'm a squealer?" demanded Burton indignantly.
"Where are your clothes?" Clancy asked.
"Boltwood knows."
The motor wizard walked down to the water's edge.
"Boltwood," said he, "I want you to go and get Burton's clothes. Also get from Ike the clothes belonging to Hill and me. Bring them back here. And—listen! ”

“ Do as I tell you and you'll be all right. Do something else, and you'll find yourself in more trouble than Burton is in."
"I'm no fool, I guess," mumbled Boltwood, pouching the gold piece. "I don't pry into things that ain't my business. I'll row across and get the clothes."
He sprang into the boat, pushed off. and began using the oars vigorously. The motor wizard turned thoughtfully and walked back to the place where he had left Hill and Burton.
Hank Burton had issued his defiance. He was not a "squealer," hut he was apprehensive regarding Clancy's next move. ”
