“I will,” said Harry, leaving the office. His tone expressed surprise at this request.
“We will soon have that matter tested,” said Mr. Leonard. “Those are the only goods I can think of which we have lately commenced to sell.”
They were interrupted by the entrance of Mr. Wilson.
“Excuse me,” he said, coolly. “I did not know you were engaged. I have just been down to see Claxton.”
“That will rest,” said Mr. Leonard. “Sit down. We were talking over the mysterious robbery.”
“Is there any clew yet?” he asked, earnestly.
“Not a shadow,” said Mr. Fitler. “There is only this much very likely; that the thief is in this store.”
“Can that be possible?” said Wilson, with perfect coolness. “And all here have been so fully trusted. I fancy my suspicion of that boy will prove a just one, in the end.”
“I fear it may,” replied Mr. Leonard.
“I have not even let you escape in my investigations,” said the officer, addressing Mr. Wilson.
