His pay for the round trip was to be ten dollars and board, the money payable when the boat got back to Buffalo. If he left the ship at Chicago, he was to get no cash. The boat reached Chicago in ten days. It was a great trip full of mild adventure and lots of things that would have surprised the folks at Rockford. Jim got a job on the docks as checker-off, or understudy to a freight-clerk.
Then, if Giraffe starts out at once, and has fair luck traveling he ought to get to Rockford in two hours, running part of the way, once he strikes the road." "That would mean two in the afternoon, then, Thad?" "About that, if all goes well," the other continued, as though mapping out the programme, step by step.

"No, ma'am, none whatever," and the white teeth became slightly visible for a moment, but soon disappeared. "You are from Rockford, 'Lena tells me?" "Yes, ma'am. Have you friends there?"
Even now the dog was quieting down, and as the hired man removed the irritating cause of the beast's anger it became even gentle, whining as though to offer excuses.

"Rockford?" "Yes, my aunt lives there."
When I attended school in Rockford, Miss Ashton was a pupil in the same institution; but, when I learned that her mother, who is a widow, took in sewing, to pay her school bills, I did not care to cultivate her acquaintance.
