places where he could get it honor
ably. But if there were not, and if he
needed (which he didn't in the least,
l can assure you-he would lose every
cent he had rather than get it dishoa-
Orably. Now, Aunt Keziah, I am not
going to get angry at you if I can help
it, because you have been much too
good to me all my life for me to do
any such thing. But you mustn't make
such insinuations, aUnty. Now, tel
