The next thing was to give Major Norton warning.
“Major Norton,” said Joe, “I should like to have you get another boy in my place.”
“What, Joe?” exclaimed the major.
“I am going to leave town.”
“Where are you going?” asked his employer.
“First to New York and afterwards to California.”
“Well, I declare! Is it because you ain’t satisfied with your clothes?”
“No, sir. I don’t see much prospect for me if I stay here and I have heard a good deal about California.”
“But you haven’t got any money.”
“I have almost sixty dollars.”
