But remember, if you do go, it is Ball, not Treadman." Waiting only to give certain orders to the head clerk, Mr. Dill proceeded to the office of Ball & Treadman.

Indeed, Ruth herself was very anxious and very much excited regarding this mystery; but she was anxious, too, about herself. Was Uncle Jabez here to meet her? Or had he sent somebody to take her to the Red Mill?
