mo, sir. jist spekilated and bought
him of the other boy for 10 cents. He
said as how you were only worth a
nickel, and l says you were good for a
quarter. SeeT'
The boy got the quarter and went
around the corner, where the first boy
was waiting under an open window in
the home of the horseman's friend.
That's the way ter work the swells."
said the young speculator to his COM
