"Will it last you two weeks?"
The two friends were sure it would last them as long as that.
"Where are you stopping?"
Julian replied that they were stopping at some hotel, but they did not know which one.
"Well, Fay will no doubt direct you to a cheaper boarding-house than that. What are you boys going to do with this?" said Mr. Gibson, placing his hand upon the box.
"We want to put it somewhere so it will be safe," said Julian.
"Shall I take charge of it for you? I will put it in the bank. It is most too valuable for me to carry around."
"Yes, sir."
After a little more conversation his two clients went out. The lawyer sat for a long time thinking the matter over, and at last he got up, took the box under his arm and started for the bank. He had decided that he would go to St. Louis that very night.
