IL by hand to No. Lemon street, so they
knew Samuel Ind received IL. They
wrote to MaoNamara asking whether
they should force tho demand by legal
proceedings; this action OF Samuel Ia
not producing the bill was most unac-
countable.
MacNamara wrote telling them to let
tho matter rest at present as Charles

Cairo, and was not expected 30 live, and

A year had almost passed since Sir
Charles Moore had entered No liz Lemon
street with his faithful friend. Mac
Naulara, and then under very different
auspices from now.
"Sir Charles has como TO pay that bill

"Oh. ycs" said Samuel in weak
voice. He went TO the safe, and made n
protenec Of fumbling his papers.
"I cannot put my hand on 10 for the
moment, Sir Charles but l will give you
n receipt for 10 in full and forward the
cancelled bill tonight. IL it will save you
any further trouble, said Samuel, with
"All right. +" said MaoNamara, mako

the secret, he would never do that
The weeks passed quickly on; December
had come and Christmas was near at
hand. Messrs. Wethley q Wells received
letter and check for 1900 pounds from
MacNamara made out TO the order OF
Mr.. Samuel, with Instructions to give
this TO Samuel on the presentation of
Moore's bill. He added that Moore was
still too weak 10 undertake any business,
and for this reason he sent his own check,
and that they were going on n lengthy
trip abroad. and the receipt for the money
was to be sent to Shepherd s Hotel. Cairo.
where they would be during the month OF
January. the letter bore the Dover post

That afternoon Messrs wethley & Wells
wrote 60 Mr. Samuel, informing him that
they wero prepared TO take up Mr.. Moore's
bill OF 1850 pounds. The following morn
ing samuel arrived Mt II Lemon street. at
his usual hour. Ho was out of sorts; too
much smoking and drinking and the late
hours had given MIN "a gouty, yellow look.
Milmaysknew Samuel was In bad humor
as, instead OF coming into the back office
on his arrival, Ds was his wont, he had
gone into the front room, and slammed
the green baiZo door very loudly.
Samuel gaZed at the pile OF letters that
had come for him by tho morning post.

tell him IL thsre was anything Of iinuort-

open. "OhP' so Moore was going to pay.
He touched the bell communicating with

Samuel, land afterward want you TO go

like the buzzard that he was, went to
pluck the feathers of young, silly Lord
Bullbridge.
MacNamara went down the stairs feel
ing certain Samuel had not the remotest
suspicion that he had touched his port
or W hat he had done. He felt more like an
angel than a thief, for he had saved poor
Moore, anyway. until he was able TO pay
the bill He did not for a moment think
of defrauding Samuel out of the money;
eventually it must be paid, but Samuel
would have TO wait until Moore was In
position to settle even If he had to wait

As he walked down the Burlington
Arcade, he meditated on the best plan OF
action. On arriving at Whites Club an
idea had struck him. After lunching
there no drove TO Messrs Wothley a.

solicitors. He did not often go there, and
when he did so, IL was usually TO try and
put of the payment Of interest due on the
mortgage OF his Irish property.
Mr.. Wethley, the senior partner, was an
old fashioned solicitor one who took n
fatherly interest in Captain MacNamarA,
as he had looked after the affairs OK his
family for years MacNamara was not
kept waiting; he was shown at once into
Wethley's private room.
