"Not till you've had some supper," urged Mrs. Stuart.
"I'm not a bit hungry. Old Charley trotted off well, I tell you. Just as I was going over the car bridge, three miles this side of the city, a gentleman hailed me."
"Can you give me a ride, my boy?" he asked.
"I looked at him sharp for a minute, and when I saw that he was a true gentleman, I said—
"'Yes sir, I'm pretty full; but if you wont mind your feet being crowded, I can take you as well as not.'"
"He told me he had been waiting for an omnibus; and he wanted very much to catch the train from the city to Providence."
"He asked me my name and a great many questions; and I liked him so well I told him all about the chance I'd got to decorate St. Stevens' church."
"By and by he took out his pocketbook full of bills and currency, and offered me fifty cents."
"'Thank you, sir. I don't want any pay. I can take you to the depot if you'll show me the way.'"
