"Very well then, go and weigh out the butter and be sure and give me
good weight."
"We always give full weight, sir," answered George.
Bert and the others could hear, but could not see George as he weighed
out the butter. Then Frank whispered:
"I want to get near enough so I can see what kind of a twenty dollar
bill that man gives this boy. Maybe it will be no good, just as he
fooled me."
"Come over here," whispered Harry. "You can look through this crack
between two boxes. It's right near the cash drawer, and you can see
the bill when George makes change for it."
Frank crept up to make an observation, and as the store boy took the
bill from the man, and began making change, Frank could not hold back
any longer. He saw that the bill was the same kind that had fooled
him. It was Confederate money, and utterly worthless.
"Don't give that man any change!" cried Frank. "That's bad money!"
CHAPTER XXII
HAPPY DAYS
Bert and Harry were so surprised at Frank's sudden call, that, for a
few seconds, they did not know what to do or say. George Smith, the
boy in the store, was also startled.
