"How did you get it? You didn't make it selling papers in the street."
"You may bet on that. No; I found part of it and the rest I had given me."
"Tell me about it."
Rufus did so.
"Where is the money?"
"I keep it in a savings-bank."
"I'll tell you what, Rufus," said George, "if you'll buy out the shop for me, and come in as my partner, I'll do what I said, and that'll be a good deal better than the savings-bank can do for you."
"That's true; but there'll be more risk."
"I don't think there will. I shall manage the business economically, and you can come in any time and see how it's going on. But I never thought you had so much money."
"If you had, maybe you'd have thought more of me," said Rufus.
