"How can I help it when people call me a thief."
"I heard the cashier had kinder turned you out: but that don't 'mount to anything. Wait till the superintendent comes back."
"He'll believe as the others do."
"Then wait till I catch the real thief."
"You?"
"I'm going to try it."
"But you can't leave the mine."
"That's jest what I have done."
"What? Have you thrown up the job?"
"Me an' the cashier had a little tiff a few minutes ago, an' I've closed accounts with Farley's."
