"Yes; I am to meet a friend near the lake."
"I’ll go along with you."
Jasper had to submit though with an ill grace.
"Wouldn’t another day do?"
"No; the fact is, Jasper, I am in trouble,"
"You usually are," sneered Jasper.
"That is so. I have been out of luck lately."
"I am sorry, but I can’t help it as I see."
"How much money do you think I have in my pocket?"
"I don’t know, I am sure. I am not good at guessing conundrums."
"Just ten cents."
"That isn’t much," said Jasper, indifferently.
"Let me have a dollar, thats a good fellow!"
"You seem to think I am made of money," said Jasper sharply. "I haven’t got much more myself."
"Then you might have. You get a good salary."
"Only seven dollars."
"You are able to keep most of it for yourself."
"Suppose I am? You seem to know a good deal of my affairs."
