"Yes," was the answer. "A friend of yours wanted to draw out some money on your account; but of course we did not pay it without your order."
"I am glad you didn't."
"Then you did not send the boy who presented it?"
"No."
"I thought it might be so."
"How much did he want to draw?"
"Twenty dollars."
Henry looked serious. This certainly looked bad for Sam. He did not like to think that a boy to whom he had always been kind would so abuse his confidence.
"I shall take better care of my book in future," he said. "The boy had no authority from me to draw money."
"We saw that the signature was not correct, and refused to honor the draft."
