"I'm leaving," said Meek.
"Good gravy! Leaving! And just when we made us a strike."
"You don't understand," said Meek. "I didn't come out here to find
radium. Or to arrest gangs. Or even to capture an Asteroid Prowler. I
just came out to look around. Nice and quiet. Didn't want to bother
anybody. Didn't want anybody to bother me."
"Doggone it," said Stiffy, "and I was just figuring maybe, soon as we
cleaned up the radium, we might get that Prowler to lead us to the Lost
Mine."

Meek brightened. "I have a hunch I know where that Lost Mine is,
Stiffy. Remember there was a cut-back in the cliff near where we found
the Prowler. Well, when I first saw him, he was in that place. Got a
hunch maybe that's the mine."
