Evan made believe not to notice any change in Denton's manner. "Good morning," he said cheerfully.
Denton made no reply.
"What can I do to-day?" asked Evan.
Denton shook his head.
Evan affected to be greatly surprised. "Why, what's the matter?"
"I guess you know," the other said sorely.
The policeman stepped up. "Is this the guy as made trouble for you last trip?" he asked hoarsely.
Denton nodded.
The policeman turned self-righteously on Evan. "Say, fella, you'd ought to be ashamed of yourself! Don't you know no better than to make trouble for a charity!"
"You've got me wrong, officer," said Evan sweetly. "I didn't make any trouble. It was the other fellows made trouble for me!"
