“I’d forgotten all about it,” said Hansel truthfully. “And I’m not going to take it.”
“Suit yourself,” answered Harry with a shrug. “I’m through with it.”
“What it is and all about it?” demanded Bert. Harry explained the one-sided wager whereby Hansel was to come into possession of the white sweater if Cameron didn’t play in to-day’s game.
“But I don’t intend to take it,” said Hansel earnestly. “It doesn’t seem right; seems as though I was profiting by Cameron’s misfortune.”
“Don’t worry about Billy,” said Harry. “He’s as chipper as a lark; says if Lockhard plays the game the way he’s taught him to, he won’t mind not playing himself!”
“I tell you what, Harry!” exclaimed Hansel.
“All right; what?”
“Why, you won’t keep it and I won’t take it, so give it to Cameron.”
“Billy?”
“Why not? I’ll bet he hasn’t got a good sweater to his name.”
