Yes. Good train from town five-twenty gets here nine-fifteen. He will catch that? Good. Tell him report here on arrival. All right. Good-bye." Polke rang off and went back to his desk. "What New Scotland Yard calls a first-class is very often what I should call a third-class," he muttered as he picked up his pen. "However, we'll live in hope that something out of the usual will arrive.
It was a condition of the loan that the five-twenty bonds redeemed should equal the 5 per cent bonds that had been issued, both issued to be reckoned at their par value.

"I want to make you a present, in addition to the wages which you receive from the office," said Mr. Hartley. "Thank you, sir." Mr. Hartley drew from his desk a five-twenty government bond, of one hundred dollars, and handed it to our hero.
"In this envelope," he said, "are two five-twenty governments for a hundred dollars each. Take them in and sell them, and bring the proceeds to me." "All right, sir." Frank took the envelope, and entered the office of Jones & Robinson, that being the style of the firm. He advanced to the counter, and singling out a clerk, said: "I want to sell these bonds."
