A BARGAIN INDEED
The summer resident looked sharply at Mr Jameson's guileless moon face, and then at tho mild and none-too-spngntly horse he was offerring for sale. “Don't you think £3O is rather a stiff price to ask for a horse uko that?” asked the summer resident. “How old is he ?” “He's only just thirty,' said M rJamesan, calmly. “Thirty years old, and you expect to get thirty pounds for him!” “I don't know as J. expect to get it,” said Mr Jainceon, without rancour, “but it seems as if I’d ought to have full as much as that. It only conies to £1 a year, and he’s cost me a good deal mor'n that most years.”
