CHAPTER XXI.

When George Wentworth received this
message he read it several times over
before it's full meaning dawned upon
him. Then he paced up and down his
room and gave way to his feelings. His
best friends. who had been privileged
to hear Georges vocabulary when he
was rather angry, admitted that the
young man had a fuency of expression
which was very much more terse than
proper. When the real significance of
the dispatch became apparent to him.
George outdid himself in this particular
line. Then he realized that, however
consolatory such language is to a very
angry man, it does little good in any
practical way. He paced silently up and
down the room. wondering what he
could do. and the more he wondered
the less light he saw through the fog.

other room. ss.

wall. These were considered by some to
show that the materials used were of a
very inferior quality. The opinion was
expressed that had the concrete been OF
good quality and the earth back of the
wall properly tamped the trouble would
not have occurred
n o action was taken in the matter, how
ever, and 1t was decided to ho.d another
meeting this afternoon and formulate
some kind of report to the board, which
meets tonight. 1t is probable that the
architect will be called upon to explain
about the plans and that new plans will
be drawn before the wall is rebuilt.
Secretary Beanston of the board said
Yesterday that the members knew that
the wall was hot all right, and that the
contractors pay had been withheld on that
account.
The board will lose nothing" he said,
because the money that was to have been
PAID is still in our hands. II the contractor
decides that he is not going to rebuild the
wall, all well and good; the board will go
ahead and do it itself, using the funds
originally intended for the job.
Ii he does rebuild it he will be paid all
right after the board is convinced that the
work IS well done and the wall shows that

that the wall bulged before the money was
