"Where did you get this, Sam?" he asked.
"I found it under a bush by the side of the road, near the blacksmith's shop."
"When?"
"Shure it wasn't more'n five minutes."
"Do you know what was in the envelope?"
"No."
"You are sure no one gave you the letter to hand to me?" said the grocer, with a searching glance.
"Shure, I found it."
"Well, I'm glad to get it. You are a good boy to bring it to me. Here's ten cents."
Sam took the money, as much surprised as pleased, for the grocer was considered, and justly, a very mean man.
