“You are a precious scamp, Jasper.”
“What do you mean?”
“You are not content with getting Ropes discharged for something which you yourself did——”
“And you too.”
“And I too. I accept the amendment. Not content with that, you try to get him discharged from his present position.”
“Then he might have lent me the money,” said Jasper sullenly.
“It wouldn’t have been a loan. It would have been a gift. But no matter about that. I want a dollar.”
“I can’t give it to you.”
“Then I shall call at the store tomorrow morning and tell Mr. Goodnow about the stolen goods.”
Finding that Carton was in earnest Jasper finally, but with great reluctance, drew out a dollar and handed it to his companion.
