out of a nasty row. For my part I'm everlastin' obliged to you, I
am so."

Jed looked pleased but very much embarrassed.

"Sho, sho," he exclaimed, hastily, "'twan't anything. Oh, say,"
hastily changing the subject, "I've got some money 'round here
somewheres I thought maybe you'd take to the bank and deposit for
me next time you went, if 'twan't too much trouble."

"Trouble? Course 'tain't any trouble. Where is it?"

Winslow put down his work and began to hunt. From one drawer of
his work bench, amid nails, tools and huddles of papers, he
produced a small bundle of banknotes; from another drawer another
bundle. These, however, did not seem to satisfy him entirely. At
last, after a good deal of very deliberate search, he unearthed
more paper currency from the pocket of a dirty pair of overalls
hanging on a nail, and emptied a heap of silver and coppers from a
battered can on the shelf. Captain Hunniwell, muttering to
himself, watched the collecting process. When it was completed, he
asked:

"Is this all?"

"Eh? Yes, I guess 'tis. I can't seem to find any more just now.
Maybe another batch'll turn up later. If it does I'll keep it till
next time."

The captain, suppressing his emotions, hastily counted the money.
