To make sure that he was not deceived he inquired:
"What money?"
"You know very well," said the man, impatiently. "You are the boy whom I employed to sell some bonds this morning."
"You don't look like the same man," said Frank.
"Because of my glasses. I have to wear them at times on account of the weakness of my eyes."
While he was speaking, a quiet-looking man approached and listened to the conversation.
"Then," said Frank, "you can tell me how many bonds you handed me."
"They were two five-twenty government bonds of a hundred dollars each."
"Correct, sir."
"Then hand me the money and be quick about it, for I have no time to waste! You shall have the dollar I promised you."
