He walked to the landlord, and said:
"I'll take his place."
"Who are you?" asked the landlord, in surprise. "I never saw you before."
"I have just come," said Tony. "I am looking for a place."
"What can you do?"
"Anything you want me to do."
"Have you any references?"
"I can refer to him," said Tony, pointing to the tin peddler.
"Oh, Mr. Bickford," said the landlord, with a glance of recognition. "Well, that's enough. I'll take you. James, take this boy to the kitchen, and give him some supper. Then tell him what's to be done. What's your name, boy?"
"Tony Rugg."
