Renwick found himself unexpectedly
detained at the office. 1t was exactly
the same with Mordaunt Fraser On
four separate occasions he had ar
ranged 70 leave the city early, and on
every one of them, at the very last
moment Stephen Renwick walked INTO
his room with some letter or document
a bout which he wanted and must nave
his advice. Never was anything SO
aggravating. They began to conceive
positive dislike for each other.
though outwardly they maintained the
appearance of undiminished friendli-
ness and intimacy.
I'VE must propose at once" said
Renwick at the end of the week, and
they agreed to toss up which should
have the prior right. Mordaunt Fra
ser won. 1t was arranged he should
propose the next day, and, If unsuc-
cessful, Renwick the day after. They
became better friends directly this was
settled.
The same afternoon they heard the
first sinister rumors about old Jonas
Robson's financial difficulties. One
never knows how such rumors get
about but they were very persistent
and definite Jonas Robson, so 1t was

he did not complete it the damages he

devil and the deep sea. Renwick and
Fraser were not altogether surprised
at the news, for they had long looked
upon JOnas's methods Of conducting
business as antiquated and inadequate
to modern needs-and, of course, II
you aren't uptOdate in business, you
must expect to come to grief.
These alarming rumors greatly agi-
tated the young men. They had been
so sure of marrying the money of Amy
Robson that they had let their bust
ness take care of itself and with that
cheerful propensity of an ungoverned
business it speedily run itself into
very bad way.
They now faced ruin, for without
fresh capital they could not continue,
and even should Amy Robson agree to
mary either of them. wife without
money would be a burden and not a
blessing. They talked the matter over
and it was finally agreed that the only
way out of the difficulty was a disso-
luton Of partnership. This being
agreed upon they shook hands and left
the office, ostensibly for home.
Some hours afterwards two hand

Of one stepped Stephen Renwick and

Fraser.
