“How did you meet him?” asked Bob, expecting that Jerry had found his job in some exciting way. But he was disappointed. “You shall soon see whether I dare or not,” returned Johnny. “No—no, sir,” stammered Bob, helplessly. “He wasn’t there—he’s in Las Cruces—” “What did you give him, little John?”.
