"Don't give him the money," he said. "He will cheat you."
Both Graham and his intended victim wheeled round, and looked at our hero.
"Clear out of here, you young vagabond!" said Graham angrily.
"This man wants to cheat you," persisted Tom. "Don't give him your money."
The bewildered foreigner looked from one to the other.
"This is no ticket office," said Tom. "I will lead you to one, and you shall buy a ticket for yourself."
"He wants to swindle you," said Graham quickly.
"You shall keep your money in your own hands," said Tom. "I don't want it."
"I go with you, my young friend," said the German, convinced by Tom's honest face. "The other man may be all right, but I go with you."
Graham protested in vain. His victim went off with Tom, who saw that he was provided with the ticket he wanted. His new friend tried to force a dollar upon him; but this Tom steadily refused.
