"Are you going directly to Cleveland, Miss Loring?"
"Yes, but about thirty miles this side I have a young niece at a boarding school. She will join me on the train, and will expect me to pay her railroad fare. But for that, the loss of the money would have entailed no inconvenience."
Mark drew from his pocket book a five-dollar bill and passed it to Miss Loring.
"But how can I return this to you?" she asked.
"I will call at your house. I am going to Cleveland also."
"Do so. Here is my card."
She took out a small card and tendered it to Mark. On it was inscribed:
Miss Florence Loring.
No. 1001-1/2 Euclid Avenue.
"Inquire for me when you call!" she said.
"Thank you."
