Another thing I expected he'd run up agin was count'fits.

The' ain't so very many on 'em round now-a-days, but the' is now an' then one.

He allowed to me that he was liable to get stuck at fust, an' I reckoned he would.

But I never said nuthin' about it, nor ast no questions until to-day; an' this afternoon I come in to look 'round, an' I says to him, 'What luck have you had with your money?
Git any bad ?' I says.

'Wa'al,' he says, colorin' up a little, 'I don't know how many I may have took in an' paid out agin without knowin' it,' he says, 'but the' was a couple sent back from New York out o' that package that went down last Friday.'" "'What was they ?' I says.
"'A five an' a ten,' he says.
"'Where be they ?' I says.
"'They're in the draw there--they're ruther int'restin' objects of study,' he says, kind o' laughin' on the wrong side of his mouth.
"'Countin' 'em in the cash ?' I says, an' with that he kind o' reddened up agin.
