"He doesn't seem to realize that he has lost his money."
"He has not had time to realize it yet. It won't be long before he
will understand the difference it makes."
"I am glad he isn't my cousin," continued Guy. "I dislike him more
than any boy I know."
Allan Roscoe looked thoughtful.
"I fear that boy will give me trouble yet," he said to himself. "He
evidently suspects that something is wrong."
CHAPTER XXIX.
JIM SMITH EFFECTS A LOAN.
After parting with Allan Roscoe and Guy, Hector kept on his way
downtown. He did not expect to meet any more acquaintances, but he
was again to be surprised. Standing on the sidewalk having his boots
blacked, he recognized the schoolfellow he had least reason to
like--Jim Smith.
"What brings Jim here?" he asked himself, in some surprise.
He did not feel inclined to go up and claim acquaintance, but it
chanced that he became witness of a piece of meanness characteristic
of Jim.
When the young bootblack had finished polishing his shoes, he waited
for his customary fee.
