'You have credited him within a hundred and twenty pounds in the bank, I see. 'Yes, his bank-book shows a balance of that amount. 'When was it made out? 'Last Saturday. 'He may have drawn it since them. 'It is certainly possible.
The room was soon after let to a more creditable tenant who proved a less troublesome neighbor than his predecessor. It was about a week after Dick's recovery of his bank-book, that Fosdick brought home with him in the evening a copy of the "Daily Sun." "Would you like to see your name in print, Dick?" he asked.
The cook, waiting some time in patience to be told, gently inquired what it was.
