It is just as I said; you are going to South America, if you will." "It seems too good to be true, Mr. Henshaw." "It's the blessed truth and I know it I don't blame you for feeling well over such an appointment, for it is something any of us might be glad of. But you deserve it." The appearance of Furniss checked Jack's reply. He could see the other understood that he had lost.
An hour after daylight Jim Duff died. Dr. Furniss and the others who were with the gambler at the last were unable to state that Duff had offered any expression of regret for his evil life, or for his last wicked acts. Jim Duff died as he had lived. George Ashby was sent to an asylum and his property sold for his benefit. After a year he was discharged as cured.
But he could only learn from him that Vincent had been unaccompanied, when he went out in the boat, either by young Furniss or by any of the plantation hands; that he had taken with him only his own slave, and had come and gone as he chose, taking out and fastening up the boat himself, so that no one could say when he had gone out, except that his horse was put up at the stables.
But I knew my manners, and I said, 'Thank you, sir, I can see as I stand. And I did see right well, and kicked Bob Furniss too, which was good for all parties. But I'd like to see the very places themselves, Master Jack." "So should I," said I; "but I should like to go farther, all round the world, I think.
Then we can have a long talk. I don't think I have seen you since the day you asked me to lend you my boat two years ago." "Can you spare me two hours now?" Vincent asked. "You will do me a very great favor if you will." Harry Furniss looked at his watch. "It is eleven o'clock now; we have a lot of people to lunch at half-past one, and I must be back by then."
"'Very well, said Furniss, coolly, 'bluster as much as you please, dear boy, and, when you are tired, go home. It is an hour earlier than you generally return. He will hardly have left. If you find your pretty little idol alone, and at her prayers, disbelieve me. If you find Mr. Crosby enjoying a tête-
There is a special train going through with ammunition, and as everything will make way for that it will not be long behind the four o'clock, and likely enough may pass it on the way. There is a horse-box attached to it, and as I only take one horse there will be room for yours."

Almost before they had begun to hoist, the laddermen and spectators felt that it was a useless attempt. Nor did the doors and passages seem to offer any better avenue of escape. Chug, chug, chug! sounded a touring car close at hand. An automobile stopped, Dr. Furniss jumping out. "Anyone in danger!" shouted the young doctor. "Yes; a woman and her children. Also Reade and Hazelton!"
"Very well, sir," Vincent said, as he prepared to mount his horse; "if you will take the trouble to look in the papers to-morrow, you will see that your threats of action for libel have no effect whatever upon me." "The man is as hard as a rock, Wingfield," Furniss said, as they rode off together.
