said Tommy , rather confusing microscopes and telescopes in his remarks . `` Tip-top ! I 'm so glad ! Wo n't it cost a heap , though ? '' cried Nat , feeling that his friend was beginning to be appreciated . `` Of course it will ; but we are all going to give something . I headed the paper with my five dollars ; for if it is done at all , it must be done handsome . '' `` What ! all of it ? I never did see such a generous chap as you are ; '' and Nat beamed upon him with sincere admiration . `` Well , you see , I 've been so bothered with my property , that I 'm tired of it , and do n't mean to save up any more , but give it away as I go along , and then nobody will envy me , or want to steal it , and I sha n't be suspecting folks and worrying about my old cash , '' replied Tommy , on whom the cares and anxieties of a millionaire weighed heavily . `` Will Mr. Bhaer let you do it ? '' `` He thought it was a first-rate plan , and said that some of the best men he knew preferred to do good with their money instead of laying it up to be squabbled over when they died . '' `` Your father is rich ; does he do that way ? '' `` I 'm not sure ; he gives me all I want ; I know that much . I 'm going to talk to him about it when I go home . Anyhow , I shall set him a good example ; '' and Tommy was so serious , that Nat did not dare to laugh , but said , respectfully , `` You will be able to do ever so much with your money , wo n't you ? '' `` So Mr. Bhaer said , and he promised to advise me about useful ways of spending it . I 'm going to begin with Dan ; and next time I get a dollar or so , I shall do something for Dick , he 's such a good little chap , and only has a cent a week for pocket-money . He ca n't earn much , you know ; so I 'm going to kind of see to him ; '' and good-hearted Tommy quite longed to begin .
`` I think that 's a beautiful plan , and I 'm not going to try to buy a fiddle any more ; I 'm going to get XXXXX his net all myself , and if there is any money left , I 'll do something to please poor Billy .
