"James!" called Sam, "just look at Tony now."
James stared, and when an explanation was made, heartily congratulated our hero.
"Sam," said Tony, producing a couple of showy neck-ties, "to prove to you that I am not your enemy, I have brought you these."
"They're stunning!" exclaimed the enraptured Sam. "I always thought you was a good fellow, Tony. Are they really for me?"
"To be sure they are, but I'm afraid, Sam, you didn't always think quite so well of me."
"Well, I do now. You're a trump."
"And, James, I've brought you a present too." Here Tony produced a handsome silver watch with a silver chain appended. "It's to remember me by."
"I'd remember you without it, Tony, but I'm very much obliged too. It's a real beauty."
When the landlord was told of Tony's good fortune, he was as much surprised as the rest. Our hero was at once changed to the handsomest room in the hotel, and was made quite a lion during the remainder of his stay.
