"How did you come here?" demanded Percy bluntly.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that you are Jed Gilman."
"My dear Ralph, what does this person mean?" said Bertram.
"He evidently mistakes me for some one he knows," said Jed coolly. "May I ask your name, young man?"
"You know me well enough," said Percy angrily, for Jed had not tried to change his voice. "I am Percy Dixon."
"Percy Dixon?" repeated Jed. "Where have I met you?"
"Where have you met me?" retorted Percy. "At the Scranton poorhouse."
"Do you reside there?" asked Jed with admirable composure.
