“What kind of an artist are you?”

“I make drawings for an illustrated weekly. It is a comic paper.”

“You may use me whenever you want a representative of the wild and woolly West.”

“Thank you, Mr. Wilson.”

“But in that case you must send me a copy of the paper.”

“I won’t forget it.”

“How long are you staying in New York, Mr. Wilson?” asked Edward.
