CHAPTER X
DICK INVESTS IN HAPPINESS
Dick managed to swing aboard the last car as the train for Parkertown was pulling out of the station at Hamilton Corners. There was quite a crowd on it, as many were going to the circus.
"Hello!" exclaimed Frank Bender, as he caught sight of Dick walking up the aisle of the car in which he was. "I thought you weren't going."
"I wasn't, but I changed my mind. This is a free country."
"Of course," assented Frank, with a laugh. "We'll go together and have some fun."
"Oh, I'm going on business."
"That's too bad."
"Well, it's business connected with fun," explained Dick. "Maybe I'll have a chance to see the show with you later."
