Charles Street, came out with a bid. The owner was a seedy man with a straw-colored, drunkard's mustache. He was leaning against the body of Mrs. His hundred-dollar offer was followed by a hiss. What followed next Stephen will always remember. When Judge Whipple drew himself up to his full six feet, that was a warning to those that knew him.
The man, meanwhile, began quietly to count over the packages aloud from one to ten, and then to count the bills in each separate packet, also from one to ten. Yes, there were ten little heaps, each containing ten bills of a hundred-dollar denomination. That made ten thousand dollars.
Ignacio's dark eyes glittered as he slowly went over the pile of bills. "See, sergeant," said he, "here is a hundred-dollar bill. Just think of it! Look at it! Think if I should get that bill changed into good Spanish gold. The British consul would do it." "Yes, he is a friend of the Yankees." "Yes, he would do it for me. And then here is fifty dollars more. Look and count it.
I saw he had been drinking, but I was too busy just then to argue the case, for I knew if I refused him he would want a fuss, as he had the reputation of being a great fighter, and I had been told that he had killed three men; so I handed him a hundred-dollar bill, and went on with my game.
Percy had at once put into her hand the hundred-dollar note, telling her that she must find means of conveying it to the old nurse. Oh, what a puzzle and a tangle it all was! Poor little Lena! Truly she was having a hard time with all the perplexities and anxieties which Percy's worse than folly had brought upon her. But one source of worry, in fact two, were to be lifted before long.
"I'm sorry, Abe," Linkheimer muttered, as he folded away the hundred-dollar bill in his wallet. "I bet yer he's sorry," Morris interrupted. "I would be sorry too if I would got a lawsuit on my hands like he's got it." "What d'ye mean?" Linkheimer cried. "I ain't got no lawsuit on my hands."
He had trimmed up the berry bushes in the garden himself during his various holiday trips, and had arranged with a fisherman to dump a few haulings of shellfish on one field where he thought that kind of fertilizer would be effective. He had determined to use his hundred-dollar graduation present in fertilizer and seed. It would not go far but it would be a beginning.
With a yawn, this man now advanced, saying: "I beg your pardon, gentlemen. I presume it's very rude, but I need some change right away in order to pay a sum to a man who wishes to catch a train. I've been unable to get this hundred-dollar bill changed. Would you mind if the cashier stopped long enough to change it for me?" The speaker was Casper Silence, backer of the Rovers baseball team.
The first plate bore the obverse of a fifty-dollar bill at the top and of a hundred-dollar bill at the bottom, while the other plate held the reverse of both sides. By turning the sheet around for the reverse printing, the fifty-dollar impression had been made on the back of the hundred-dollar bill. "Do you see, now?" laughed the banker.
"What's that youse say?" he demanded. "I said, could you change me a hundred-dollar bill?" "Where'd youse get it?" he inquired incredulously. "Never mind," said Jurgis; "I've got it, and I want it changed. I'll pay you if you'll do it." The other stared at him hard. "Lemme see it," he said. "Will you change it?" Jurgis demanded, gripping it tightly in his pocket.
