"Say, pard," said Fred, "we are going to hitch in two weeks."
"Great Scott! Why such haste?"
"Old age is coming on and we want all there is in life for us, eh, Callie?"
"You are doing all the talking, Fred," Callie replied.
Bob and Fred laughed, and Callie joined in finally. She was a very happy girl.
"How about my position at Barron's, Fred?" she asked.
"Give it up, of course. Do you know a poor girl who wants the place?"
"I do," said Bob.
"Who is she?"
"A friend of Gertie's. She's a good one, too."
