CHAPTER XVII.

Walter stopped long enough at Buffalo
to visit Niagara Falls, as he had intend
ed. Though he enjoyed the visit, and
found the famous cataract fully up to his
expectations, no incident occurred during
the visit which deserves to be chronicled
here. He resumed his journey, and arriv-
ed in due time at Cleveland.
He had no difficulty in finding the Office
of Mr.. Greene, the agent of Messrs. Flint
& Pusher. He found that this gentleman,
besides his agency, had n book and sta
tionery business Of his own.
81 don't go out myself" he said TO
Walter; "but l keep a supply of Flint's
books on hand, and forward them to his
agents as called for. Have you done
much in the business"
mo, sir am only beginner. l have
done nothing yet"
Il thought not. You look too young
"Mr. Pusher told me l had better be
guided by your advice
"You had better go fifty miles or at
least. The immediate neighborhood has
been pretty well canvassed. There )
Earle, now, hOurishing and wealthy
town. Suppose you go there first?"
"I'll go this afternoon"
You are prompt"
Walter arrived in Earle in time for
supper. He went to a small public house,
where he found that he could board for
dollar and half a day, or seven dol
lars by the week. He engaged a weeks
board, rejecting that he could probably
work to advantage a week in so large a
place, or, if not, that fivo days at the
daily rate would amount to more than
the weekly terms.
He did not at first propose to do any
thing that evening, until 1t occurred TO
him that he mig t perhapn dispose of II
COPY of his book to the landlord in part
payment for his board. He went into the
public room after supper.
"Are you travelling alone?" asked the
landlord, who had his share of curiosity.
"Yes," said Walter. II am book
agent"
Meeting with pretty good success"
"T'm just beginning" said Walter, smil-
ing. "If you'll be my first cutomer, I'll
stop with you a week."
"What kind Of book have you got"
Walter showed 1t. 1t was got up In the
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1908-08-21
CHAPTER XV.-(Continued.)


The boy, who had made sure of sale,
took back the fruit reluctantly, and pass
ed on, crying out: Heres your oranges
and apples"
Walter set about thinking what had
become of his money. The more he
thought, the more certain he felt that he
had put his pojcketbook in the pocket in
which he had first felt for it. Why was
1t not there now? That was a question
which he felt utterly incompetent to an
swer.
Have you lost anything% inquired a
gentleman who sat just behind Walter.
Looking back, he found that it was Il
gentleman of fifty who addressed him.
"Yes, sir" he said, Il have lost my
pocketbook."
"Was there much money in itP
about forty dollars, SIR"
"Who was that young man who was
sitting with you a few minutes since?"
81 don't know, sir"
"He was a stranger, them"
"Yes, sir; never met him till this
morning"
"Then l think can tell you where
your money has gone"
Where, sir?' demanded Walter, be-
ginning to understand him.
81 think your late companion was a
pickpocket, and relieved you of it, while
he pretended to be reading. l didn't like
his appearance much"
"I don't see how he could have done it
without my feeling his hand in my
pocket"
They understand their business and
can easily relieve one of his purse unde-
tected. once had my watch stolen with
out being conscious of it. Your pocket
book was in the pocket toward the man,
and you were looking from the window
1t was very simple thing to relieve you
of it."
