About a month ago, Mrs. Stiles held a dollar bill out to Dumpy and said, "Doesn't that smell nice?" Few days later, Dumpy turned up carrying in her mouth a dollar bill, which she pressed on her mistress. Next day she brought home another dollar. Each day for the following fortnight Dumpy brought home a dollar a day, never more, never less. Some of the bills were old-issue, large-sized dollars, most were current certificates.
