Excerpt from Beggars' Gold This conclusion they soon reached through watching the actions of the pair. The man took out a bundle of tickets and looked them over, one by one slowly and carefully giv ing directions. The boy kept nodding in reply, with a look of absorbed expectancy. When his friend had finished talking, they sat silent as before. But from time to time the lips of the 'little Easterner quivered and he clutched the other's arm.
