Here's a thousand. Pull that boy through and forget where you got the money." "I couldn't do more if you said ten thousand," asserted Andover. "Gambling is my business," said The Spider. "I raise the ante.
After a while, his health broke down, and the way to regain it seemed to be through service to a wealthy man on his farm in the country. There his health was restored, and his benevolent employer got him into Andover Academy, where he led the whole class.
No use tryin' to step round it now. I reckon you know all about it." "And you will be going back to them to your friends on the ranch?" "Well I aim to. I got to go over to Sanborn first." "Sanborn?

Take care of yourself. Good-bye!" Owen and his deputies strolled over to the station with the El Paso attorney. Pete, standing out in front of the hotel, saw the train pull in and watched the attorney step aboard. "First, Doc Andover says to hire a good lawyer, which I done, and good ones sure come high."

"Much obliged for your advice about the thoroughbred," said Andover as he stepped close to Pete. "Is that the pony you used to ride?" "He sure is. Say, Doc, I got the money to pay for him, but would you mind writin' out a check. I ain't wise to this bankin' business yet." "Why no. I'll do that. I er of course I'm a little short myself.

Quincy's second and third years at Andover passed quickly and again vacation time had come. "Let's go to Fernborough as usual," said Quincy, and Tom, without argument, seconded the motion.
The last-named busy little town of to-day owes much of its prosperity to the fact that it is an important meeting place of railways connecting three great trunk lines.
