The
auctioneer
watched
him
as
he
went
out
.
In
half
an
hour
he
was
back
with
a
drayman
--
an
idle
levee-wharf
hanger-on
who
was
waiting
for
a
job
.
Frank
had
bargained
with
him
to
deliver
the
soap
for
sixty
cents
.
In
still
another
half-hour
he
was
before
the
door
of
the
astonished
Mr.
Dalrymple
whom
he
had
come
out
and
look
at
the
boxes
before
attempting
to
remove
them
.
His
plan
was
to
have
them
carried
on
to
his
own
home
if
the
operation
for
any
reason
failed
to
go
through
.
Though
it
was
his
first
great
venture
,
he
was
cool
as
glass
.
"
Yes
,
"
said
Mr.
Dalrymple
,
scratching
his
gray
head
reflectively
.
"
Yes
,
that
's
the
same
soap
.
I
'll
take
it
.
I
'll
be
as
good
as
my
word
.
Where
'd
you
get
it
,
Frank
?
"
"
At
Bixom
's
auction
up
here
,
"
he
replied
,
frankly
and
blandly
.
Mr.
Dalrymple
had
the
drayman
bring
in
the
soap
;
and
after
some
formality
--
because
the
agent
in
this
case
was
a
boy
--
made
out
his
note
at
thirty
days
and
gave
it
to
him
.
Frank
thanked
him
and
pocketed
the
note
.
He
decided
to
go
back
to
his
father
's
bank
and
discount
it
,
as
he
had
seen
others
doing
,
thereby
paying
his
father
back
and
getting
his
own
profit
in
ready
money
.
It
could
n't
be
done
ordinarily
on
any
day
after
business
hours
;
but
his
father
would
make
an
exception
in
his
case
.
He
hurried
back
,
whistling
;
and
his
father
glanced
up
smiling
when
he
came
in
.
"
Well
,
Frank
,
how
'd
you
make
out
?
"
he
asked
.
"
Here
's
a
note
at
thirty
days
,
"
he
said
,
producing
the
paper
Dalrymple
had
given
him
.
"
Do
you
want
to
discount
that
for
me
?
You
can
take
your
thirty-two
out
of
that
.
"
His
father
examined
it
closely
.
"
Sixty-two
dollars
!
"
he
observed
.
"
Mr.
Dalrymple
!
That
's
good
paper
!
Yes
,
I
can
.
It
will
cost
you
ten
per
cent.
,
"
he
added
,
jestingly
.
"
Why
do
n't
you
just
hold
it
,
though
?
I
'll
let
you
have
the
thirty-two
dollars
until
the
end
of
the
month
.
"
