OF the room.

A look of relief suffused itself over
Wilson's broad face
Then they are still open to accept

Miller laughed as If highly amused at
the complication of the matter.
They are bound you remember, on
ly so long as you hold their note"
Then ! tell you what to do" pro-
posed Wilson. Go back and tell them
not to bother about payment for few

went and slammed The partly opened
door. muttering something like an oath.
On that slight journey, however, he
caught an idea.
Suppose you wire them my propo-

suggested.
Miller frowned. THAT would do no
good" he said. I'm sorry ] cant ex-

At this Juncture Wilson lost his grip
on all self-possession and degeneratej
into the sullon anger of sharp and UNI
expected disappointment.
Il don't feel that we are being fairly

assumed that your clients wanted to-
to extend our option on the property
