"You are travelling early, David," he said.
"Just what I was going to say to you," said David, laughing. "Are you walking for your health?"
"Not exactly," said John. "I've a great mind to tell you. You won't tell?"
"Honor bright!"
"Then, I've left Mr. Huxter without bidding him good-by."
"Good!" said David. "I don't blame you a bit. Tell me how it happened."
David was highly amused at Mr. Huxter's adventure with the tub.
"I must tell that to George Sprague," he exclaimed. "It's a good joke."
"I'm afraid Mr. Huxter wouldn't agree with you there."
