Al that moment Barbara came out,
and at once noticed the condition OF
the conValescent.
| Here, said she, lean on me as you
| did coming out. This has been TOO
much for you. Will you help me, Doc,
tor Coyshe?'
J Thank you,' said Jasper. If Miss
Jordan will suffer me to rest on her
arm, l will return to my room
When he was back in his armchair
and the little room he had occupied,
Barbara looked earnestly in his face
and said, What has troubled you? /
am sure something. has
l am very unhappy he answered,
but you must ask me no questions.
Miss Jordan went in quest of her
sister. Eve she said, our poor pa
tient is exhausted. Sit in the parlor
and play and sing, and give look into
his room now and then. l am busy
The slight disturbance mad not al
tered the bent Of Mr.. Jordan
thoughts. When Mr.. Coyshe rejOined
rejOined him, which he did the mo,
ment he saw Jasper safe in his room,
Mr.. Jordan said, I cannot believe that
ran any risk with the money. The
man to whom l lent it is honorable.
Besides, l have his note of hand &C.
knowledging the debt; not that ]
would use it against him
a mans word said COyshe, is like
india-rubber that can be made into any
shape he likes. A word is made up
of letters, and he will hold to the let
tiers and permute their order to suit
his own convenience, not yours. A
man will stick to his word only so long
as his word will stick to him. 1t de-
ponds entirely on which side it is
licked. Hark! Is that Miss Eve sing
ing? What voice! Why, if she
were trained and on the stage
Mr.. Jordan stood up, agitated and
angry.
4 beg your pardon, said Coyshe.
Does the suggestion offend you? I
merely threw it out in the event of the
money lent not turning up
Just then his eyes fell on some
thing that lay under the seat. What
is that Have you dropped pocket
book?'
A rough large leather pocket-book
was that to which he pointed. Mr.. Jor-
dan stopped and took it up. He eX-
amined it attentiyely and uttered an
exclamation Of surprise.
Well said the surgeon mockingly,
is the money come, dropped from the
clouds at your feet?'
NO. answered Mr.. Jordan, under his
breath, but this is most extraordinary,
most mysterious! How comes this
case here. 1t is the very same which
II handled over, filled with notes, to
that man seventeen years ago! See!
there are my initials on it; there on
the shield is my crest. How comes it
here?
The question, my dear sir, is not
how comes it here? but what does it
Icontain?'
Nothing
The surgeon put his hands in his
pockets, screwed up his lips for =
whistle, and said, I foretold this, am
always right
The money is not due till Midsum
mer-day.'
Nor will come till the Greek
kalends. Poor Miss Eve!'
