CHAPTER XXIII
STEPHEN WEBB IS PUZZLED
"Will you have a morning paper?" asked Luke.
He wanted to have a few words with Mr. Browning, even upon an indifferent subject, as he now thought it probable that this was the man who had defrauded his mother and himself.
Browning, too, on his part, wished for an opportunity to speak with the son of the man he had so shamefully swindled.
"Yes," he said, abruptly, "you may give me the Times."
When the paper had been paid for, he said:
"Do you make a good living at selling papers?"
"It gives me about seventy-five cents a day," answered Luke.
