The night was old and these jokers sometimes pay well, the man reflected. "How'd I know you'd bring it back?" he inquired. "Matter of honor with me. I'll be back in no time.

"I'll make it fifteen, and you can lend me your coat and hat.
"He hed a wife in Philadelphy, though I hed never hearn him speak uv her. After he wuz dead, I found in one uv his pockets a worn letter, months old, frum her, dated Philadelphy; and I got her word uv his death, though frum her letter I gethered thet they hedn't been gittin' on well together, an' thet she 'peared to think he had misused her, an' keered nothin' fur her.
