"If you don't want them, I'll take them to town and sell them. I am sure Moskowsky will buy them." Now it happened that Moskowsky was a rival peddler who also boasted of the ownership of a second-hand store. To think that the goods might go to this man nettled Jasok exceedingly. "Vell, I likes you, Cho," he said. "I vos your friend, an' I gif you dree dollars for dem dings."
Then he returned to the cabin and brought out all the goods he wished to sell. By the middle of the next day the Hebrew peddler appeared. At first he declared that all of the things Joe had to sell were not worth two dollars. "Very well, if you think that, we won't talk about it," said Joe, briefly. "Da vos all vorn out," said Jasok. "De clothes vos rags, and de furniture an' dishes was kracked."
He had two suits of clothing, but both were very much worn, and so were his shoes and his cap. Hiram Bodley had left some old clothing, but they were too big for the boy. "I guess I'll get Jasok the peddler to come up here and make me an offer for what is here," he told himself. Jasok was a Hebrew peddler who drove around through the lake region, selling tinware and doing all sorts of trading.
"That's a good idea. Hunting and fishing isn't what it used to be. What do you want for the things?" "All I can get," and a brief smile hovered on Joe's face. "I wouldn't sell out too cheap. Jasok is a great fellow to drive a bargain." "If he won't give me a fair price, I'll load the things on the rowboat and sell them in town." "That's an idea. Do you want to sell Hiram's double-barrel shot gun?"
