"Yes, but I guess you make enough besides," returned Percy, suggestively.
"What do you mean?"
"You've got plenty of chance on the bridge, with so many odd pennies coming in."
"Do you mean to insinuate I steal the toll money?" demanded Ralph, angered at the insinuation.
"I didn't say so," sneered the other, more suggestively than ever.
"But you meant it."
"Well, what if I did?"
"It's mean of you, Percy Paget! I never stole a cent in my life!"
"It's easy enough for you to say so."
"And it's true. You must think that every one is a thief just because somebody was caught stealing tarts out of the bakery."
