Captain Sam spoke first. "What's that?" he demanded. "What money's that?" Jed's fingers moved back and forth across the bills and he answered without looking up. He seemed much embarrassed. "Sam," he faltered. "Sam er you remember you told me you'd er lost some money a spell ago? Some er money you'd collected over to Wapatomac. You remember that, don't you?"

Why, yes and now I know why you pretended to have found the four hundred dollars Father thought he had lost. Pa left it at Wapatomac, after all; you knew that?" Jed stirred uneasily. He was standing by the window, looking out into the yard. "Yes, yes," he said hastily, "I know. Don't talk about it, Maud.

Then he told of his attempts to trace it, of Jed's anxious inquiries from day to day, and, finally, of the scene he had just passed through. "So there you are," he concluded.
It's some consider'ble of a drive over from Wapatomac. Comin' across that stretch of marsh road by West Ostable I didn't know but the little flivver would turn herself into a flyin'- machine and go up." Jed stopped in the middle of the first note of a hymn. "What in the world sent you autoin' way over to Wapatomac and back this day?" he asked. His friend bit the end from a cigar.
