Susan departed very early and did not get back till very late so late in fact that her next-door neighbor had the time to become more than a little anxious as to the possibilities of some mischance having befallen her two-dollar bill. But towards eight o'clock signs of life next door appeared to the anxious watcher in the Lathrop kitchen window, and one minute later she was on her way across.
Then his arms fell to his sides and his pig-like eyes gleamed with belated comprehension. Licking his dry lips, he said: "Give me drink. I show you to-night." The Italian slipped a hand into his pocket and tossed him a two-dollar bill. Stumbling to the door the Russian found Mascola close by his side. "Wait," he commanded. "Sit down. There."
"Well, I've got to go take up that note at the bank." "Well, the children's got to have some new underclo'es," she said. He handed her a two-dollar bill and then went out to pay his note. She bought her cotton flannel and mittens and thread, and then sat leaning against the counter. It was noon, and she was hungry.
"That was right," said the gentleman, glancing toward the door. "Here are two dollars; come back here to-morrow and I'll have something more for you good-by." And the philanthropist passed out by a side door which opened on an alley. The striker gripped the two-dollar bill hard in his hand and started for the front door.
It was the man with the 'soo-vy-neer matches, quickly and deftly metamorphosed to escape the unobservant or untrained eye, but the same, notwithstanding. And now my interest grew apace. I knew that at last we were in the presence of that powerful official who dispensed virgin two-dollar notes to the unwitting foreigner or native; and Adam Camp was about to be mulcted.
Chancing to remember the carnations that had stood on the table at dinner, he brought them with his own hands, wiping the long stems with his handkerchief before presenting them to the bride. When they were gone, his glance fell upon an envelope which the groom had left unnoticed on the piano. "Look at this," he said, drawing forth a two-dollar bill. "Why didn't I see him do that in time?
I understand that this is the kind of thing you want the two-dollar theatre to come down to, or up to." "Not exactly, or not quite," I returned, thoughtfully, "though I must say I think your time was as well spent as it would have been at most of the plays I have seen this winter." My friend left the point, and said, with a dreamy air: "It was all very pathetic, in a way.
"Anybody got any money?" inquired Eshwell, as he fished in his pockets. No one had a cent. Eshwell searched Tempest's trunk, found a two-dollar bill and a one wrapped round a silver dollar and wadded in among some ragged underclothes. Susan heard Burlingham mutter "Wonder how he happened to overlook that!" But no one else heard. "Well, we might have breakfast," suggested Mabel.
All he had to do with would-be prospectors was to chuck them out. He had got in ten stamps for his mill over the road I had built from Caraquet, and since Macartney arrived was milling stuff whose net result made me stare, after the miserable, two-dollar ore old Thompson had broken my heart with. "So you see, we're made," Dudley finished simply.
In the exuberance of trade, which steadily increased till sundown, he gave no thought to the tailor, to whom, however, he had sent by a messenger a two-dollar bill and two bottles of Pain Paint, with the lordly announcement that he would call in the evening and "present his compliments and his thanks."
