"There he is," he said, hastily pointing him out to the boy. "You will have to ride, too. Can you catch that car?"
"I've got no money," said the boy.
"Here's a quarter. Now run."
"But I'm to have a quarter besides?"
"Yes, yes. Make haste."
The boy ran forward, and succeeded in overtaking the car and clambering on board.
"Look here, young chap," said the conductor, suspiciously, "have you got any money to pay your fare?"
"Yes, I have," said the boy. "Don't you be afraid, old hoss."
"Show your money, then."
The boy produced the quarter which had just been given him.
