At only five years, our Leon all by himself cries for a fiddle get it for him, Abrahm get it for him!" "I tell you, Sarah, I got a crazy woman for a wife! It ain't enough we celebrate eight birthdays a year with one-dollar presents each time and copper goods every day higher.

Several heads were badly bumped in the effort to peep into the box, and an unprotected sneeze from Uncle Israel added to the general unpleasantness. "You can all go away," cried Mrs. Dodd, shrilly. "There's two one-dollar bills here, two quarters, an' two nickels an' eight pennies. 'T aint nothin' to be fit over." "But the letter," suggested Mr. Perkins, hopefully.

"One-dollar bills?" said Hodges. "Ten of 'em?" "You don't look like a mind-reader." "Well, you're right about the wad bein' Blenham's. Leave it with me, if you want. I'll see he gets it.
