"Exactly," answered Kenneth. "The figures are perfectly plain, aren't they?"
Grafton shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
"Oh, all right," he said. "Only a dollar seemed rather little, and I wanted to be sure—"
"Didn't anyone else give a dollar?" demanded Kenneth.
"We don't make public the amounts received," answered Grafton with much dignity. Kenneth smiled sarcastically.
"What are you doing now?" he asked.
"I merely asked—"
"And I answered. That's enough, isn't it?"
"Yes, but let me tell you that we don't take to stingy fellows in Lower House. You'd better get moved to Upper, Garwood; that's where you belong. You're a fresh kid, and I guess we don't have to have your subscription anyway." He tore the slip up contemptuously and tossed the pieces to the snow. Kenneth colored.
"Just as you like," he answered. "I subscribed what I thought proper and you've refused to accept it. You haven't worried me."
