“About what?”
“Why, Jack, of course.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Hasn’t he told you what he did this morning?”
“Say, Jack,” asked Ed, in a puzzled way, “what is Wally barking about?”
“And you haven’t read to-night’s ‘World’ or ‘Journal’,” continued Wally, grinning.
“No; I came out a little while ago to get the sporting edition, as I’m a crank on baseball.”
“Then run over to the stand and buy one, and I’ll show you something that’ll surprise you. Hold on; you needn’t. Here’s a boy with a bunch of ’em.”
Ed bought a paper.
Wally grabbed it and presently pointed out an article the nature of which Jack knew fully, for he had bought an earlier edition of two afternoon papers for his mother and sister.
