“What did they do?”
“Order a lot of things in his name.”
“I must say I don’t understand,” said Andy, with a puzzled look.
“Day before yesterday there came an elegant set of Cooper’s works by express with a C. O. D. charge of thirty-two dollars. Mr. Strong never ordered the books.”
“That’s mean, to play a trick like that on him,” said Dale. “Now if it was old Crabtree I wouldn’t say a word.”
