Well, even so, he could "ride the bumpers" to the school; take a side-door pullman; beat his way; hobo it--or whatever the initiated wanted to call it.

He could send his suitcase on by express, and just wear old clothes--send his money on, too, for that matter.

He could save quite a lot that way.

Or maybe he could get Sudden to let him go back with cattle from the Gila River Ranch--only he wouldn't ask any favors from any one by the name of Selmer.

No, he'd be darned if he would! He'd just draw his wages, when he had enough saved, and drop out of sight.
