"Then I will go some day with you."
"You had better give me a letter to take to your employer with the money."
"I will."
Ambrose Kean wrote the following note:
JAMES COOPER:
DEAR SIR:—Hiram Crossley called at the office yesterday and paid in fifty dollars due to you. Being busy, I thrust it into my pocket, and inadvertently took it with me. I think I shall be able to be at the office to-morrow, but think it best to send the money by a young friend. I gave Mr. Crossley a receipt.
Yours respectfully, AMBROSE KEAN.
When Luke reached the office, Mr. Cooper was conversing with a stout, broad-shouldered man, of middle age, and Luke could not help hearing some of their conversation.
"You say you paid fifty dollars to my clerk, Mr. Crossley?" asked the merchant.
"Yes."
