It was not worth two, even at the present price of lamb, for the creature was neither big nor fat. "Here you are," said Tom, and thrust four one-dollar notes into his hand. The man stared at them, and from them to Tom. He really seemed disappointed. Perhaps he wished he had said more, when Tom did not haggle over the price. "Wal, I'll take it along to the house then," said the farmer.
He threw the dollar and the card savagely to the floor. "Wouldn't you have thought the old thing would have at least given Billy a reward!" cried Peggy indignantly. Though she did not answer this, Mrs. Lee smiled, as she recalled the reluctance with which the old man had extracted even the one-dollar bill from his pocket. "I don't want any old reward I just want Pilot!
There was a crisp ten-dollar bill, evidently the last of those given by the bank at the beginning of the month. There were two one-dollar bills. There was a fifty-cent piece, two quarters and a dime. A gold German twenty-mark piece, about eight inches of narrow crimson ribbon, and a glove button, completed the contents.
On Saturday night of that first week I came home with nine dollars in my pocket. I'll never be prouder again than I was when I handed them over to Ruth. And Ruth will never again be prouder than she was when, after she had laid aside three of them for the rent and five for current expenses, she picked out a one-dollar bill and, crossing the room, placed it in the ginger jar.
Peter showed the list, with Cissie's name on it. "She told me to collect from you." Tump brightened up. "So dat wuz whut you two niggers wuz a-talkin' 'bout over at yo' house." He ran a fist down into his khaki, and drew out three or four one-dollar bills and about a pint of small change. It was the usual crap-shooter's offering.
Suddenly Sandy started back and pointed to a small roll of bills three one-dollar bills they were but Sandy had never put a piece of paper money in the box! "That!" he whispered hoarsely; "how did that get here?" Too late Cynthia saw her mistake. All the small savings and sacrifices of her life she had exchanged that very day at the post-office for the three bills.
The woman's face grew redder. She made a threatening movement towards Maria, but the man beside the stove unexpectedly arose and slouched between them, grinning and feeling in his pocket, whence he withdrew two one-dollar notes. "Here," he said, in a growling voice, which was nevertheless intended to be ingratiating. "Go 'n' buy the young one somethin' to go to school in. Don't yer mind."
Help him every way you kin, an' when he gits the money we'll show our hands." So saying, Godfrey walked down the path out of sight. After a few minutes' absence, he came back and handed Dan the money of which he had spoken, a five-dollar bill to be expended for himself at the store, and a one-dollar bill to pay Dan for stealing the canoe.
After looking through the books and papers, the money was taken out and counted. It amounted to but a single one-dollar note. Was ever an artist so bitterly deceived? Langdon W. Moore rose to the occasion. He was no pilferer, and scorned to carry off so mean a booty. In the words of the police-captain, he would not add larceny to burglary. But he paid the penalty of greatness.
I need ten dollars." "Oh, dear!" moaned Uncle Ezra, as he took out his wallet, and carefully counted out ten one-dollar bills. "Couldn't you look around and get a second-hand one?" he asked hopefully. "No; we haven't time. We must soon start on the prize trip. We don't want to be late." "No, I s'pose not. Wa'al, take the money," and he parted with it, after a long look.
