"You find me too schmart to be schwindled, I tell you that."
"Still, if you don't want to go on with the business, I'll take back the packages and give you five dollars for them."
"And I to lose two dollars and thirty-five cents, besides all my time. Not much, Mr. Hugo Higgins."
"You can't expect me to give you back all the money."
"Well, I do," said Mr. Schmidt stoutly. "I give you just two minutes to make up your mind."
Just then the door opened, and a young man who was evidently from the country entered.
"I seed your advertisement," he said. "I want to be an agent, if you can give me a chance."
Otto Schmidt smiled sardonically, and was about to speak, when Hugo said hurriedly, "Come out into the hall, Mr. Schmidt, and I think we can arrange your business satisfactorily."
"All right! I come," and he followed Hugo out into the entry.
"I will pay you your money," said the agent. "It is quite against my rules, but I will make an exception in your case."
