“Do you know, Mr. Spencer,” said Tony, “I’ve got an
idea. I’ll go back wearing the same clothes I had on when I left there.”
“Have you got them still?”
“Yes, I laid them away, just to remind me of my old life. I’ll take my other clothes and after a while I can put them on.”
“What is your idea in doing this, Tony?” asked the young man.
I want to give them a surprise.”
“Very well, do as you please. Only don’t stay away too long.”
Tony proceeded to carry out the plan he had proposed.
He traveled by rail to a village near by, and then with his bundle suspended to a stick, took up his march to the tavern.
