HOW AMBROSE KEAN WAS SAVED
"I didn't know you were occupied, Aunt Eliza," said Mrs. Tracy, in a significant tone, as she paused at the door.
"My business is not private," returned the old lady. "Come in, Louisa."
Mrs. Tracy did come in, but she regarded Luke with a hostile and suspicious glance.
"That is all, Luke," said his patroness. "You may go. You can report to me to-morrow."
"All right, ma'am."
When Luke had left the room, Mrs. Tracy said: "You appear to repose a great deal of confidence in that boy."
"Yes; I think he deserves it."
Mrs. Tracy coughed.
"You seem to trust him with a great deal of money."
