him to Danish the idea of paying any
thing, at once but to put the matte
in his hands, and in few days ho
would call upon him and let him know
how be progressed The captain pro
ceedci at once to the hotel, but th,
bind had flown, whittier no one knew

however, that she had changed hel
quarters to Varick street, opposite St
