"I don't see the use. Can't you take my word?"
"I may as well tell you that Harry Walton recognizes one of the bills as a part of the money he lost."
"He does, does he?" said Luke, boldly. "That's all nonsense. Bills all look alike."
"This one has a drop of ink just in the center. He remembered having dropped a blot upon it."
"What have I to do with that?"
"It is hardly necessary to explain. The evening he lost the money you were with him. Two days after, you pay me one of the bills which he lost," said the tailor.
"Do you mean to say I stole 'em?" demanded Luke.
"It looks like it, unless you can explain how you came by the blotted bill."
"I don't believe I paid you the bill. Very likely it was some one else."
"I thought you would say that, so I called Colman's attention to it. However, if your employer admits paying you the bills, of course you are all right."
