A waiter near by said to another waiter, pointing, "Take a look at that tramp that's coming in.

Ain't that the one that bilked the house, last week, out of ten cents ?" "I believe it is.

Let him alone--don't pay any attention to him; wait till we can get a good look at him." The tramp approached timidly and hesitatingly, with the air of one unsure and apprehensive.

The waiters watched him furtively.

When he was passing behind Harte's chair one of them said, "He's the one!"-- and they pounced upon him and proposed to turn him over to the police as a bilk.
