I shall not want it with all this money, which I should not have received but for you." "A debt is a debt, Mrs. Forbush, and I prefer to pay it. I shall not be here to supper, as Mr. Carter is expecting me back to the Astor House. I shall probably come with him when he calls upon you to-morrow." On his return to the hotel, as he was walking on Broadway, Phil came face to face with Alonzo Pitkin.
Besides the woodcock and snipe, the species that are most seriously threatened with extinction at an early date are the following: SPECIES IN GREAT DANGER Of these fine species, Mr. Forbush, whose excellent knowledge of the shore birds of the Atlantic coast is well worth the most serious consideration, says that the upland plover, or Bartramian sandpiper, "is in imminent danger of extinction.
Pitkin was very rude to her, and said that you were so much prejudiced against her that she had better not call again." "That's like her cold selfishness. I understand her motives very well. I had no idea that Mrs. Forbush was in the city. Is she poor?" "Yes, sir; she is having a hard struggle to maintain herself and her daughter." "And you board at her house?" "Yes, sir."
"I told him about you." "But we are strangers." "He used to know you, and still feels an interest in you, Mrs. Forbush." "Who can it be?" said the widow, looking bewildered. "I don't want to keep you in suspense any longer, so I may as well say that it is your Uncle Oliver." "Uncle Oliver! Why, he is in Florida." "No; he came home from Charleston.
"Why don't you ask Philip's advice about keeping the house?" said Julia. It must be explained that Philip and Julia were already excellent friends, and it may be said that each was mutually attracted by the other. "Poor Philip has his own troubles," said Mrs. Forbush. "He has lost his place through the malice and jealousy of Mr. and Mrs.
Carter kindly. "Nor I," said Mrs. Forbush. "I feel provoked with Lavinia and her husband for trying to throw discredit upon your statement." "In fact," said Mr. Carter humorously, "the only one of us that suspected you was Julia." "Oh, Uncle Oliver!" exclaimed Julia, in dismay. "I never dreamed of doubting Phil." "Then," said Mr. Carter, "it appears that you have three friends, at least."
I will speak further on this point when you are through your purchases." At length the shopping was over, and they re-entered the carriage. "Drive to No. Madison Avenue," said Mr. Carter to the driver. "Uncle Oliver, you have given the wrong direction." "No, Rebecca, I know what I am about." "Do you live on Madison Avenue?" asked Mrs. Forbush. "I am going to and so are you.
Forbush?" "Yes, sir, and handed her the money. She was overjoyed; not so much at receiving so generous a sum as at learning that you were reconciled to her." "Poor girl!" said the old man, forgetting that she was now a worn woman. "I am afraid that she must have suffered much." "She has met with many hardships, sir, but she won't mind them now."
I feel that I am not without friends." "I am a very poor one," said Phil. "The fact is, I am in trouble myself. My income is only five dollars a week, and my expenses are beyond that. I don't know how I am going to keep up." "You may stay with me for three dollars a week, if you cannot pay four," said Mrs. Forbush, forgetting her own troubles in her sympathy with our hero. "No, Mrs.
"Isn't there any chance of his taking you back?" "I am sure there is not." "Don't be discouraged, Philip. A smart boy like you won't be long out of a place. Meanwhile you are welcome to stay here as long as I have a roof to cover me." "Thank you, Mrs. Forbush," said Phil warmly, "you are a true friend. You are in trouble yourself, yet you stand by me!"
