Now it chanced there lived in the same boarding-house a fellow-clerk of his, an honest fellow, with what is called a weakness for drink though it might, in this case, have been called a strength, for the victim had been drunk for weeks together without the briefest intermission. To this unfortunate John intrusted a letter with an inclosure of bonds, addressed to the bank manager.
Once more, impenetrable darkness settled over the scene, and, when the next flash came the camp had resumed its former appearance. Tad Butler hesitated only for the briefest instant.
