“I’ll not forget how that bill looks,” said Jerry to himself, as he sought his two chums and told them what had taken place between Paul and himself.
[CHAPTER X.]
THE MOTOR-CYCLE.
It was about a week after the foregoing events when Jerry received a letter, bearing in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope the mark of the C. H. & D. Railroad.
He read the missive, which was short and to the point. Briefly it informed Jerry that there awaited him at the freight office of the road one motor-cycle, which he could have by calling and presenting the enclosed way-bill.
“Hurrah!” shouted the boy. “Three cheers for the Cresville Athletic Club and Mr. Wakefield! Hurrah!”
Jerry lost no time in calling for his two chums, and the three boys hurried together to the freight depot.
“What can I do for you boys?” asked Mr. Hitter, the agent in charge.
“I come to get what that calls for,” replied Jerry, handing over the way-bill.
