"I should be obleeged if you would," said the farmer. "Out in Craneville I am to home, but I ain't used to York business men, and don't know how to talk to them."
It pleased Frank to find that, in spite of his inexperience, he was able to be of service to one more unaccustomed than himself to city scenes and city ways.
He walked up to the counter, followed by the farmer, and said:
"This gentleman wishes to buy some government bonds. I told him that he could transact his business here."
"Thank you! Mr. Benton, you may attend to this gentleman."
Frank was about to leave the office, when Mr. Robinson called him back.
"You have been in the office before, have you not?" he asked.
"Yes, sir."
"Are you not the boy who assisted in the capture of the man who robbed Mr. Henry Percival, of Madison Avenue?"
"Yes, sir."
