"Why don't you marry again?" inquired Tony, half in fun.
"I couldn't afford it," answered Hayden, frightened at the suggestion. "Women have terrible appetites."
"Have they?" returned Tony, amused.
"And I can't get enough for myself to eat."
"Have you always lived here?"
"No; I lived in England when I was a young man."
"What made you leave it?"
"Why do you ask me that?" demanded old Ben, suspiciously.
"Oh, if it's a secret, don't tell me," said Tony, indifferently.
"Who said it was a secret?" said the old man, irritably.
