"I wish we had some money, I know that," Connie said, as we were walking along the ties. "That's the only thing that's worrying me."

"Same here," I told him, "but we're going to have a lot of fun here, believe me; I can see it coming."

"Careful Carl," I said.

"What do you do with all the money you spend?" Connie wanted to know.

"Oh, I save it," I told him; "ask me another one."

"He's the man the town is named after," I said; "good night, there's going to be some fun around this way. I'm glad I'm not the railroad."

"I bet those men will take that sign down," Wig said.

"I bet they'll put it up again, then," I told him.
