"Where is he now?"
"I don't know; he didn't say anything, but he had his overcoat on his arm."
"Has Mr. Faxon been in?"
"No; only Mr. Whippleton. What's the matter, Phil? Everybody seems to be in a stew to-day."
"There's an awful row brewing. What did Mr. Whippleton do?"
"He went to the safe, and looked over the pages of one of the books. What's the matter?"
"He has been using the money of the firm for his own speculations, and in my opinion he means to run away with all the cash he can put his hands on."
"Whew!" whistled the entry clerk.
"Didn't he hint where he was going?"
"No; he didn't hint that he was going anywhere; but I thought, from his having his overcoat, that he was going out in his boat."
