Mr. Baker, as he anticipated, did not return from Brooklyn before Roswell left the store.
Roswell snatched a hasty supper, and went over to his friend, Ralph Graham's room, immediately afterwards.
"Glad to see you, Roswell," said Ralph; "are you coming to the club with me to-night?"
"Yes," said Roswell.
"Have you got the five dollars?"
"Yes."
"How did you manage it?"
"Oh, I contrived to get it," said Roswell, who did not like to confess in what way he had secured possession of the money.
"Well, it's all right, as long as you've got it. I was afraid you wouldn't succeed."
