"It was a present," answered Scott.
"From whom?"
"Cousin Seth."
Loammi was not slow in carrying the news to his father.
"Pa," he said, "see the new suit Mr. Lawton has given Scott."
Mr. Little put on his glasses and closely examined his young relative.
"Did you ask Mr. Lawton to buy you a suit?" he asked, abruptly.
"No, sir. I did not wish him to go to such an expense."
"It must have cost at least twenty-five dollars."
