"Among the notes,” answer the Lon­
don banker, "there are two thousand­
pound notes, aud, as I expect he has
some relations in the States, that will
be hls destination. It is quite likely
that he will call at your bank with the
notes and a plausible story, and ask
you to cash them.”
"I suppose I am to have him arrested
out of baud, then?” interrupted Mr.
Golden.
No; nothing of the kind!" testily an­
swered Silverton “You must get him
Into your office and give him a thorough
good lecture and £500. Please do not
Interrupt. Tell him to go out of the
country and begin an honest life. Tell
him also that it is entirely owing to the
position his father holds In tlie world
of polities, and my respect for him as
a man, that I give him this chance. I
will not blast the lives of hls father
and hls family for tbe son's peculation.
Don't talk to me about condoning a
felony, or give me any ethical defini­
tion. I consider that, apart from giv­
ing the youngster another chance after
bis first misstep. It is Infinitely prefer­
able to marking the family with shame
for the rest of their lives.”
"Is this the opinion of your part­
ners?” nsked Mr. Golden.
"No," answers Silverton; “they know
nothing of It as yet; but, if they did. 1
am convinced they would agree with
me. 1 will remit the £500 to you. and
you will then send the recovered notes
by a trusty man, whom I will recoup
for his out-of-pocket expenses."
“Very well; I agree,” Baid Golden, at
length. "And if, as you suspect, be
comes to us, I will do as you desire.
But give me a description of the man.
bo that there can be no mlstnke. and 1
will Instruct my tellers how to act.”
“Thank you. Golden,” said the Lon­
don banker; "I knew you would help.
The lad stands about five feet ten
inches tall, 25 years old—but looks
more like 30—rather sallow skin, with
very dark hair nnd short, pointed beard.
Be has a very slight limp, owing to
tome accident to hls left ankle when a
boy."
“That Is a very good vsrbal por­
trait," said Golden, "and I think we'll
not mistake him. I'll ring you up after

“Kindly do nothing of the kind.”
