I
think
I
shall
order
a
dozen
more
cases
of
goods
,
to
keep
the
stock
up
,
"
said
Mr.
Hemstetter
,
beaming
through
his
spectacles
.
"
I
would
n't
send
in
any
orders
yet
,
"
advised
Johnny
.
"
Wait
till
you
see
how
the
trade
holds
up
.
"
Each
night
Johnny
and
Keogh
sowed
the
crop
that
grew
dollars
by
day
.
At
the
end
of
ten
days
two-thirds
of
the
stock
of
shoes
had
been
sold
;
and
the
stock
of
cockleburrs
was
exhausted
.
Johnny
cabled
to
Pink
Dawson
for
another
500
pounds
,
paying
twenty
cents
per
pound
as
before
.
Mr.
Hemstetter
carefully
made
up
an
order
for
$
1500
worth
of
shoes
from
Northern
firms
.
Johnny
hung
about
the
store
until
this
order
was
ready
for
the
mail
,
and
succeeded
in
destroying
it
before
it
reached
the
postoffice
.
That
night
he
took
Rosine
under
the
mango
tree
by
Goodwin
's
porch
,
and
confessed
everything
.
She
looked
him
in
the
eye
,
and
said
:
"
You
are
a
very
wicked
man
.
Father
and
I
will
go
back
home
.
You
say
it
was
a
joke
?
I
think
it
is
a
very
serious
matter
.
"
But
at
the
end
of
half
an
hour
's
argument
the
conversation
had
been
turned
upon
a
different
subject
.
The
two
were
considering
the
respective
merits
of
pale
blue
and
pink
wall
paper
with
which
the
old
colonial
mansion
of
the
Atwoods
in
Dalesburg
was
to
be
decorated
after
the
wedding
.
On
the
next
morning
Johnny
confessed
to
Mr.
Hemstetter
.
The
shoe
merchant
put
on
his
spectacles
,
and
said
through
them
:
"
You
strike
me
as
being
a
most
extraordinary
young
scamp
.
If
I
had
not
managed
this
enterprise
with
good
business
judgment
my
entire
stock
of
goods
might
have
been
a
complete
loss
.
Now
,
how
do
you
propose
to
dispose
of
the
rest
of
it
?
"
When
the
second
invoice
of
cockleburrs
arrived
Johnny
loaded
them
and
the
remainder
of
the
shoes
into
a
schooner
,
and
sailed
down
the
coast
to
Alazan
.
There
,
in
the
same
dark
and
diabolical
manner
,
he
repeated
his
success
;
and
came
back
with
a
bag
of
money
and
not
so
much
as
a
shoestring
.
And
then
he
besought
his
great
Uncle
of
the
waving
goatee
and
starred
vest
to
accept
his
resignation
,
for
the
lotus
no
longer
lured
him
.
He
hankered
for
the
spinach
and
cress
of
Dalesburg
.
