[“But, man, you aren’t going to pay the bills!”] interrupted Walter.

“Who will pay them?”

“My father.”

Dan was silent a moment, looking down at the ground at his feet. When he glanced at his friend again he said, “That’s too much, Walter. It’s too much for your father——”

“You don’t know my father!” broke in Walter impulsively. “He has whole barrels of money. Why, Dan, only last month he cleaned up a cool hundred thousand in a deal——”

“Well, it’s his money, not mine.”

“Of course it is, and if he chooses to take one per cent of what he made on that deal and put it into your education, why, that’s his business too, isn’t it?”

“Not entirely.”

“Whose is it?”

“Partly mine.”
