Frank Merriwell's Hunting Tour — Burt L. Standish

Excerpt from Frank Merriwell's Hunting Tour
Bump - thud
One boy had been walking, the other running. They collided at the corner of two streets, and both fell heavily.
"Beg-a de pardon, senor. Very great-a mistake Beg-a de pardon very much "
"Let up What are you begging my pardon for, old man? I am the one to beg pardon. You were walking - I running - came to corner - didn't look - biff - here we are."
The speaker laughed. It was a jolly, free-and-easy, re assuring boy's laugh. The other lad had a sad, dusky face, with big, dark eyes that seemed filled with a haunted fear. His appearance and his language showed he was not a native of the United States.
The boy who had been running, jumped up.
"Here you go, old man," he cried, catching the other by the hand and drawing him to his feet.
"Unfortunate blunder. Very sorry. In a hurry. Must catch a train."
He flashed out a handsome watch, and glanced at it, whistled softly, then asked:
"How far is it to the Townsend Street railway station?"
