"I have twenty-five cents in my pocket," said Oliver with a smile.
"Then it is about time for a new supply?"
"If you please, sir."
Mr. Kenyon took a five-dollar bill from his pocket, and passed it over to our hero.
"Thank you, sir," said Oliver, with mingled surprise and gratitude.
"How much did you give him?" asked Roland crossly.
"The same that I give you, my son;" and Mr. Kenyon produced another bill.
Roland took the bill discontentedly. He was not satisfied to receive no more than Oliver.
"I think," he said to our hero, "you ought to buy me a new ball out of your money."
Oliver did not reply, but looked toward Mr. Kenyon.
