Phil smiled triumphantly.
"You didn't think I had so much—eh, Grit?" he said.
"No, I didn't," Grit admitted.
"Now hand over your wallet."
"With pleasure, if Miss Marion will take the trouble," answered the young boatman, with a polite bow.
When Marion opened the wallet, and saw the roll of bills, both she and Phil looked astonished. She proceeded to count the bills, however, and in a tone of serious surprise announced:
"I find sixty dollars here."
"That is right," said Grit quietly, as he received back his wallet, and thrust it into his pocket.
Phil hardly knew whether he was more surprised or mortified at this unexpected result. But a thought struck him.
