Bought—and Sold.
“How much will you give me for ,his atlas?” asked a shabbily dressed youngster, as he walked into a second-hand bookseller’s and produced the book named. “Oh, it isn’t worth much,” answered the bookseller, as he turned over the leaves with an air of assumed indifference. “There’s no demand for ’em. I bought one the other evening, and it’s outside on the stall now. There’s no demand for ’em at all. I shall think I’ve
done well if I get eighteenpence for the one I have now.” “All right, here’s your eighteenpenee. This is the one you had outside,” gaily answered the boy, as he threw down the money and skipped out of the shop.
