"This hammer is marked B." "B!" cried Tom.

"That B hammer is about half a pound lighter than the one marked A." "It ain't so!" yelled Jackson.
"Let me see the hammer marked A," said the captain, and it was brought from the spot where Jackson had thrown it.

"It is certainly heavier than this one," he went on.

"Jackson, what do you mean by making such a substitution ?" "I--er--I didn't know there was any difference." "But why did you make the change at all ?" "I--er--I knew Larson liked this hammer better.

The handle just suits him." "That is so," replied Larson blandly.
"We will try the contest over again," said Captain Putnam.
