It only remains to express my acknowledgment of your timely assistance." "You are quite welcome," said Ben. "I am sure of that, but I am none the less indebted. Do me the favor to accept this." She opened her portemonnaie, and taking from it a banknote, handed it to Ben. In surprise he looked at it, and saw that it was a twenty-dollar bill.

I shall have to try it in different corners before I am sure," and Mercy took out her portemonnaie, and came forward to pay the bearers. As she opened it, the old man stepped nearer to her, and peered curiously into her hand. The money in the portemonnaie was neatly folded and assorted, each kind by itself, in a separate compartment.

I found my watch in these other trousers, and putting a hand in a pocket, fished out also my portemonnaie. It had certain bills in it I presume two or three thousand dollars in all, and I thrust these into my pocket.
"Not at all. Here is the money." And Frank drew a five-dollar bill from his portemonnaie. "Thank you!" said the boarding-house keeper. "I have lost so much by boarders going away owing me money that I am obliged to ask gentlemen to pay in advance till I am well acquainted with them." "That is quite right," said Frank. "What is your dinner hour?" "Six o'clock.
