AS he spoke, Jack produced ESQ I'm

on the table. The effect of this dramatic
coup upon his employers was magical.
After staring ut Jack moment, and ex-
changing glances with one another, the
severity of their expressions relaxed,

There was another whispered consulta-

Jack felt much more at his ease than he
did few moments before. At length
the senior partner said:

done us. Our hasty decision was, of

Jack, magnauimously.
