"All right," said the latter, noticing Ben's changed demeanor, and auguring favorably from it. "Have a cigar?"
"I don't care if I do," said Ben.
Winchester handed him one, and the two sat down together.
"Oh, about that money," said Ben, after a little pause. "I can let you have a part of it now, but I shall have to make you wait a few days for the rest."
"How much can you pay me now?"
"One hundred and twenty dollars," said Ben.
"That's good," said Winchester, with satisfaction. "The fact is, I'm deuced hard up, and need it."
"I don't want to pay you here," said Ben. "Come out a little way, and I'll hand it to you."
"All right. I'd like a walk."
