"Oh, by the by, have you got any money?" asked Mr. Manning.
"A little," answered Ben.
"How much?"
Ben produced thirty-seven cents in change.
"That is rather short allowance," said Mr. Manning. "Here take this." He handed him a two-dollar bill.
"I don't need so much, Mr. Manning," said Ben.
But two dollars were not so much in the eyes of his patron, as in his.
"I dare say you can find a use for it," he said smiling.
"Thank you, sir."
"Well, good morning; or perhaps it will be as well for you to accompany me as far as Broadway. There I shall take a car, and you can saunter along as you please."
