You merely credit me with acting as you

  "I know what you're going to do. You're goin' to spend all the money on yourself."   "Don't you believe that I mean to return the change?"   "No, I don't."   "I ought not to complain of that. You merely credit me with acting as you would act yourself. How many papers have you got left?"   "Eight."   "Here, give me half, and I will sell them for you, that is, if I can do it in fifteen minutes."   "I'd rather you'd take me to the theayter," grumbled Tom.   "I've already told you I won't do it."   In ten minutes Luke had sold his extra supply of papers, and handed the money to Tom. Tom thanked him in an ungracious sort of way, and Luke started for home.   It was a long walk, for the poor cannot afford to pick and choose their localities. Luke took his way through Clark Street to the river, and then, turning in a north westerly direction, reached Milwaukee Avenue. This is not a fashionable locality, and the side streets are tenanted by those who are poor or of limited means.
