''You will suffer him, then, even to be

He began to laugh. 'Ho, no! They won't
let you wear that old fez of yours at the
%workhouse. How beautiful you'll look in
the workhouse uniform, won'tyou? I'll come
home and bring you some baccy. Now you

II will go, if that is what you mean. 1t
is the last time that you will be asked to
help your grandfather. The door is closed
You nave had one more chance, and you

duty.
1t was now five days since the fatal dis
covery. Mr.. Emblem still remained up

had been robbed, and the principal sign
of the shock was his firm conviction that
by his own exercise of memory Iris had
been enabled to enter into possession of her
own.
AS regards the bill of sale, he had clean
forgotten it. Now, in the morning, there
happened a thing which surprised James
very much. The man in possession was
recalled. He went away. So that the money
must have been paid. James was so aston
ished that he ran up stairs to tell Iris.
"Then," said the girl, 1--WE shall not be
turned out after all. But who has paid the
money!"
1t could have been no other than Arnold.
Yet when, later in the day, he was taxed
with having committed the good action
Arnold stoutly denied it. He had not Sc
much money in the world, he said; in fact
he had no money at all.

a CLEAN of intelligence, 'ft is you who hav

Arnold.
