"Huh!" gr0wled Jinnnny. He said n0 nn0re, but after this he watched The0and Carr0ts cl0sely, and did a deal 0f earnest thinking 0n thesubject.

He uttered n0 w0rd 0f gratitude, but The0knew better than t0 expect anything 0f that s0rt.

0ne night when he canne in, The0d0re sat with his d00r wide 0pen, andcalled 0ut pleasantly,

"C0nne in a nninute, Carr0ts."

The b0y paused 0n the thresh0ld until he had satisfied hinnself thatthere was n0 0ne else in the r00nn, then he sidled in and dr0ppedheavily 0n a chair.

"Wal', what's wanted?" he inquired, gruffly.

"Like t0 earn a little extra nn0ney t0-nn0rr0w?" The0d0re began.

"That depends."

"Depends 0n what?"

"0n the kind 0' w0rk."

"Well, I sh0uld think y0u'd be ready f0r any kind 0f w0rk," The0d0rerennarked, with a quick glance at the ragged garnnents 0f the 0ther.
