"What do you mean?" demanded Ben, peevishly.
"You're not willing to buy anything to eat," explained Tony, "and you can't live above three days on nothing."
"Is that all? What made you frighten me so?" complained Ben, angrily.
"I only told you the truth. Are you going to give me the money?"
"Perhaps you'll tell me where I am to get so much money?" said Ben, in the same tone.
"I will tell you if you want me to," answered Tony.
"Where?" asked Ben, eagerly.
"Under the floor," returned Tony, composedly.
"What!" screamed Ben, in consternation.
