“You're off the track. That isn't my name.”
“Perhaps not,” said Walter resolutely; “but when you called at Locke & Green's office and handed me a check you said your name was Jonas Damon.”
“Ho, ho!” laughed Damon. “So I gave you a check, did I?”
“Yes, for two hundred and twenty-seven dollars.”
“That's news to me. I'm not in a position to give such checks as that.”
“I have got the check with me now.”
“Why didn't you cash it?”
“It was not made payable to me.”
“Then why didn't you give it to the party it was made out to?”
“Because he disappeared.”
