But I am unable to say whether Dr. Goodnow actually gave out such a view or for what purpose he expressed such a view. From what he told the representative of a Peking newspaper he never expressed the views attributed to him. Be this as it may, I cannot help having my doubts. All Dr.
Meanwhile Rodney, not suspecting the conspiracy to deprive him of his place and his good name, worked zealously, encouraged by his promotion, and resolved to make a place for himself which should insure him a permanent connection with the firm. Ten days passed, and Mr. Redwood again received a summons from the office. Entering, he found Mr. Goodnow with a letter in his hand. "Well, Mr.
Goodnow called him back. "I needn't suggest to you," he said, "that you keep this to yourself. Don't let any clerk into the secret." "Very well, sir." James Redwood, however, did not keep his promise. After supper he called back Jasper as he was about putting on his hat to go out, and said, "Jasper, I wish to speak with you for five minutes." "Won't it do tomorrow morning? I have an engagement."
James Redwood took the letter, which was written in a fine hand, and read as follow: MR. GOODNOW: DEAR SIR, I don't know whether you are aware that articles have been taken from your stock, say, ladies' cloaks and silk dress patterns, and disposed of outside.
Goodnow didn't know that I would do it." "I see you are disposed to apologize for your late employer." "I do not forget that he treated me kindly till this last occurrence." "Your consideration does you credit. So you have really been reduced to earn your living as a newsboy?" "Yes, madam." "I must think what I can do for you.
But it is hard to suffer while innocent." "Uncle James," said Jasper, "if Ropes is going will you ask Mr. Goodnow to put me in his place?" Even Mr. Redwood was disgusted by this untimely request. "It would be more becoming," he said sharply, "if you would wait till Ropes was fairly out of the store before applying for his position." "I want to be in time. I don't want any one to get ahead of me."
A little before half past nine Rodney paused in front of a large five story building on Reade Street occupied by Otis Goodnow. He entered and found the first floor occupied by quite a large number of clerks and salesmen, and well filled with goods. "Well, young fellow, what can I do for you?" asked a dapper looking clerk. "I would like to see Mr. Goodnow." "He's reading his letters.
Fastening at once on the point to which Yang Tu had ascribed such importance the question of succession Dr. Goodnow in his arguments certainly shows a detachment from received principles which has an old-world flavour about it, and which has damned him for ever in the eyes of the rising generation in China.
"What reason have you for suspecting any one?" "Some ladies' cloaks and some dress patterns are missing." "Are you sure they were not sold?" "Yes: the record of sales has been examined, and they are not included." "That is strange, Mr. Goodnow," said Redwood thoughtfully. "I hope I am not under suspicion." "Oh, not at all." "The losses seem to have taken place in my department."
Rodney followed directions and found himself at the entrance of a room which had been partitioned off for the use of the head of the firm. Mr. Goodnow was seated at a desk with his back to him, and was employed in opening letters. Without turning round he said, "Sit down and I will attend to you in a few minutes." Rodney seated himself on a chair near the door. In about ten minutes Mr.
