"Did you tell him I was not receiving visitors now?"
"Yes, sir."

"Why didn't he give his name?"
"He said that I was to tell you it was the young man you noticed at the funeral," said the servant.
Mr. Morton turned pale, but at once recovered himself.
"I am not sure that I know who it is," he said, "but I can easily ascertain. You may bring him up."
