"Have you got anything for a hungry man?" asked the ragged chap, taking
off his ragged hat. "I'm a poor man, and I haven't any work and I'm
hungry."
"Did you bring back my daddy's papers?" asked Russ.
"What papers?" asked the tramp, and he seemed very much surprised. "I'm
not the paper man," he went on. "I saw a boy coming up the street a while
ago with a bundle of papers under his arm. I guess maybe he's your paper
boy. I'm a hungry man----"
"I don't mean the newspaper," went on Russ, for the other little Bunkers
were leaving the talking to him. "But did you bring back the real estate
papers?"
"The real estate papers?" murmured the tramp, looking around.
"'Tisn't any riddle," added Laddie. "Is it, Russ?"
"No, it isn't a riddle," went on the older boy. "But did you bring back
daddy's papers that he gave you?"
"He didn't give me any papers!" exclaimed the tramp.

I'm a hungry man and----"
"Aren't you a lumberman, and didn't my father give you an old coat the
other day?" asked Russ.
The tramp shook his head.
"I don't know anything about lumber," he said. "I can't work at much, and
I'm hungry. I'm too sick to work very hard. All I want is something to
eat. And I haven't any papers that belong to your father. Is he at
home--or your mother?"
"I'll call them," said Rose, for she knew that was the right thing to do
when tramps came to the house.
But there was no need to go in after Mr. and Mrs. Bunker. They had heard
the children talking out on the side porch, and a strange man's voice was
also noticed, so they went out to see what it was.
"Oh, Daddy!" cried Russ. "Here's the tramp lumberman you gave the old coat
to, but he says he hasn't any pape
