"Hope he's got one," said Stover.
Macnooder reappeared with an ordinary kerosene can and a padlock, announcing:
"This is the only one I've got on hand. It's my own."
"Let him have it," said the Tennessee Shad. "No one can get in here; you're always locked and bolted."
Macnooder hesitated.
"How does it work?" said Stover, interested.
"The spigot is plugged up and the top cover is padlocked to the side. See? Now no one can get it. I don't particularly care about selling it, but if you want it take it at one-twenty-five."
"That's too much," said the Tennessee Shad. "One plunk's enough."
"You're paying cash?" said Macnooder, considering.
"Sure!" said Stover.
