"Have one?"
"I don't care if I do," said the boy, carelessly, and he continued:
"I reckon you live 'round here?"
"No, I jest come up from Peach Bottom Run, an' am waiting for the stores to be opened."
"Why, you're from the same place where the fair is goin' to be held."
"No; I live at the Run, an' the fair is over to Peach Bottom, most five miles from my house. Are you goin' there?"
"I should reckon I was. Why, I'm goin' to help run it."
"You are?" and Teddy's mouth opened wide in astonishment.
"Yes, sir-ree, an' you fellers will be jest about crazy when I tell you what I've come to do."
"Don't flash it upon us too quick, for we wanter kind of keep our wits about us till the fun is over."
