I wrote to Judge Garvey some one referred me to him at Sacramento and asked if I might teach the school. He wrote back that I might, fixed the day, and directed me to a boarding-place that he had engaged for me. So I came by yesterday evening's train, and sent word that I was here.

"That is right," commented Callahan cynically. "You saved them a hundred thousand dollars last month they are going to blow ten a week on you. By the way, your stenographer is here." "He is?" "She is. Your stenographer, a very dignified young lady, came in on Number One. You had better go and get shaved. She has been in to inquire for you and has gone to look up a boarding-place.
