"Have you lost anything?" inquired a gentleman who sat just behind Walter. Looking back, he found that it was a gentleman of fifty who addressed him.
"Yes, sir," he said, "I have lost my pocket-book."
"Was there much money in it?"
"About forty dollars, sir."
"That is too much to lose. Was your ticket in it also?"
"No, sir; that I have in my vest-pocket."
"Where was your pocket-book when you last saw it?" inquired the gentleman.
"In this pocket, sir."
"Humph!" commented the other. "Who was that young man who was sitting with you a few minutes since?"
"I don't know, sir."
