"I have business with you, Mr. Fox. In fact, I have come to Custer City on purpose to see you."
"I can't waste my time with boys," said Simeon Fox, rudely.
"I come from Chicago," said Paul, composedly.
The old man looked at him sharply.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"Paul Palmer."
"How old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"Then you'd better wait till you grow a little older before you take up the time of a business man."
"I come from Mr. Bradford," continued Paul.
