"Yes, and scooped in as much as I had any right to expect. I don't want to spoil to-morrow's business, so sha'n't make another pitch, but will spend my time trying to find Jim."
"What good can that do?"
"I still count on making him give back your fifteen dollars, if nothing more. I reckon your Uncle Nathan won't try again to get a warrant out for us, and so I sha'n't bother my head about learning anything regarding the robbery."
"He'll make things just as disagreeable as he can; there's no question about that."
"Well, let him, and we'll see who comes out ahead. Trade is beginning to pick up, and you'd better attend to your customers."
Hazelton walked away, and from that moment until nearly nightfall Teddy had all the business both he and his clerk could attend to.
Nearly every one had something to say about the accident on the creek, and the young fakir was forced to tell the story over and over again, until he really got tired of repeating the details.
When nearly all of the visitors had left the grounds Teddy made up his cash account, and the sum total surprised both himself and Tim.
Including the amount paid Uncle Nathan he had taken in fifty-five dollars and twenty cents. Ten per cent. of this was paid to the clerk, and he found himself possessed of the magnificent sum of thirty-one dollars and seventy cents.
"At this rate we shall be rich before the end of the week," he said, in a tone of satisfaction.
