Curtis gurgled: "John D.! . . . Are you John Delancy Curtis? . . . Horace, is this your nephew?" "Judging from his looks, Louisa, he ought to be," said the stout man, gazing at the stranger with wide-eyed astonishment. The Christian names of the couple acted like a galvanic battery on Curtis.

"Just try it!" taunted Hamilton, who, at last, found himself embarked on this mad adventure in chicanery. "I have five millions in negotiable securities," Delancy added. "I'm willing to spend every penny of it in 'busting' you, if you try it." Hamilton now took up the argument, with a spirit that delighted the listening wife.

Delancy let the body fall from his almost paralyzed arms and staggered to a chair, while Emerson sprung forward, catching up the fainting form of his young bride and bearing it to a sofa.

I am here to have Mrs. Delancy go through the form of signing papers authorizing us to bring suit against the estate in order to establish certain rights of which you are fully aware.
