"Here is your money," said Edgar, producing some pennies from his pockets.
"There's only four," observed Tom with a critical glance.
"Only four! Haven't you dropped one?"
"No. That's all you gave me."
"Father, have you got a cent?"
Mr. Talbot's hand dived into his pocket, and he brought out a penny, but it was a Canadian coin.
"I don't know as I can pass this," said Tom. "They're very particular at the Windsor Hotel, where I am boarding."
"You can save it till you go traveling in Canada," suggested Edgar, with unusual brightness for him.
"That's so," answered Tom, who appreciated a joke. "I'll stop in Syracuse on the way and pay you a visit."
"How does he know about our living in Syracuse?" asked Mr. Talbot.
