That, reckoning venison worth six cents a pound, would bring us in about thirty dollars a month.

Who says we couldn't live and save money on that ?" "But you don't own a rifle," said his mother, smiling at the boy's enthusiasm.
"Well, that's so," said David, sadly.

"But," he added, his face brightening, "I shall have ten dollars coming to me as soon as Don Gordon's pointer is field-broken, and you shall have every cent of it.

Besides, you haven't forgotten that I'm going to get a hundred and fifty dollars for trapping quail for that man up North, have you ?" "Have you heard from him yet ?" David was obliged to confess that he had not.
"He may have made a bargain with some one else before Don's letter reached him," continued Mrs.Evans.

"You know this is not the only country in which quails are to be found, and neither are you the only one who would be glad to make a hundred and fifty dollars by trapping them." "I know it, mother; but even if I can't get that job, I can get some other that will bring us in money," said David, who was determined to look on the bright side of things.
