"But I hope no one else will find out this miserable story. There's Moreland, for instance." "Ah, true!" said Calton, thoughtfully. "He called and saw Frettlby the other night, you say?" "Yes. I wonder what for?" "There is only one answer," said the barrister, slowly. "He must have seen Frettlby following Whyte when he left the hotel, and wanted hush-money."
Thinking, if she thought at all, that it was William Bender, Mary played on until the piece was finished, and then, observing that her companions had left the room, she turned and met the dark, handsome eyes, not of William Bender, but of one who, with a peculiar smile, offered her his hand, saying, "I believe I need no introduction to Miss Howard, except a slight change in the name, which instead of being Stuart is Moreland!"
I went up this morning, but he would not let me in. He did not come down to breakfast, and I am getting seriously alarmed Come down to-morrow and see me, for I am anxious about his state of health, and I am sure that Moreland told him something which has upset him." "Writing," said Brian, as he put the letter in his pocket, "what about, I wonder?
He was all right when I left him nearly two weeks ago." "Haven't you seen the papers?" asked Gorby. "Not for the last two weeks," replied Moreland.
"No, Franky," answered Mary, "you would have no pillow, besides, I've got something more valuable, which I can sell. I've kept it long, but it must go to keep us from starving;" and she held to view the golden locket, which George Moreland had thrown around her neck. "You shan't sell that," said Frank. "You must keep it to remember George, and then, too, you may want it more some other time."
Rose, too, though careful not to hint at such a thing in Ida's presence, was quite willing that others of her companions at Mount Holyoke should fancy there was an intimacy, if not an engagement between herself and Mr. Moreland.
WHILE the boat was going to the Springbok, General Rolleston whispered to Captain Moreland; and what he said may be almost guessed from what occurred on board the steamer soon afterward. Helen was carried trembling into the cabin, and the order was given to heave the anchor and get under way.
To be sure, he hasn't the air of George Moreland, and doesn't dress as elegantly, but I think he's finer looking. Ever so many girls at Ida's party asked who he was, and said 'twas a pity he wasn't rich, but that wouldn't make any difference with me, I'd have him just as soon as though he was wealthy. "How mother would go on if she should see this!
The clerk bowed and went out, closing the door after him. Moreland took his seat directly in front of Calton, and with his back to the door. Kilsip, seeing this, strolled across the room in a nonchalant manner, while Calton engaged Moreland in conversation, and quietly turned the key. "You want to see me, sir?" said Calton, resuming his seat. "Yes; that is alone," replied Moreland, uneasily.
"That's rather a cool individual," said Brian, removing his cigarette from between his lips. "I wonder what Good God!" he cried, rising to his feet as the stranger turned round to look at the house, and took off his hat for a moment "Roger Moreland."
