I hope it is not that good-natured boy. Oh no! impossible." And now Bartley returned, and at the same time Monckton came briskly in through the little office. At sight of him Bartley said, "Oh, Monckton, I gave that fellow Bolton a week's notice. But he insists on going directly," Monckton replied, slyly, that he was sorry to hear that. "Suspicious?

Bolton, and bank it up with snow. You can leave Grim to superintend the unloading. Then, Mr. Saunders, do you go and set a gang of men to cut a canal through the young ice from the ship to the island.

"Can you give it up?" he asked. "Oh! I must, I will give it up," she sobbed; "but if I do, and if you forgive me, it can never be the same again. You will not think the same of me and people have seen me they all talk about it and I shall always be ashamed before them. I am a disgrace to you; Aunt Bolton has said so again and again.

I wished to ascertain for certain that the mummy was on board, and having done so from Bolton, I urged him to induce you to give back the same, free of charge, to De Gayangos, from whom it had been stolen. He refused, as he declared that he intended to deliver it to you." "I knew I could always trust Bolton," said the Professor enthusiastically.
"It is very singular," said Florence, fixing a glance of mingled curiosity and perplexity upon the young visitor. While the two were earnestly conversing in that subdued light, afforded by the lowered gaslight, Tim Bolton crept in through the door unobserved by either, tiptoed across the room to the secretary, snatched the will and a roll of bills, and escaped without attracting attention.
It will give me a larger and more profitable field." "Give me some idea of the case you say you can put in my hands." Bolton did so. His terse and crisp statement for he was really a man of ability interested the lawyer, and disposed him favorably toward the matter.
He only hoped that Bolton would not get hold of the boy. Benjamin Bolton sat at his desk in the law office of Albert Norcross, on Nassau Street.
