Ned pulled a handful of money out of his pocket, at the sight of which the old chap's little eyes glistened and he smiled more genially; but, he shook his head.

"When manee come outside to catchee dinner Pilats go inside catchee tunnel! Shabbee! Pilats catchee gold allee samee Melican man!" "And take perseshiun," said Hickory.
