“I’m a traveler, just at present,” answered Andy.
“They calls ’em tramps round our way,” said Peter.
“Then I suppose you’re a tramp,” said Andy.
“That’s so, and I’m blest if I like it!”
“Where do you come from?”
“From Cato.”
“Just what I wanted,” thought Andy. “He can give me some information. Won’t you sit down and rest a little while with me?”
“I dunno but I will. Where are you goin’?” asked Peter, his face expressing curiosity.
“What is the nearest place?”
“Cato.”
