From out a pile of costumes of various styles and fashions the old man drew a suit of drab and a broad-brimmed hat.
"How will that do?" he asked.
"Capital!" answered Rudolph, with satisfaction, "that is, if it will fit."
"I'll answer for that. It's made for a man of your size. Will you try it on?"
"First tell me the price."
"Thirty dollars."
"Thirty dollars!" exclaimed the tramp, aghast. "Do you think I am made of money?"
"Look at the quality, my good friend. Look at the cloth."
"Why, I may not want the things for more than a week."
"Then, I'll tell you what I'll do. If you only use them a week, you shall bring them back, and I will pay you back twenty-five dollars; that is," added the old man cautiously, "if you don't hurt 'em too much."
