gave it up to the creditors ! A
pitiable business
to see so much money clean thrown away.

' De-plorable,' said Mr. Skantiebury.
Then there passed another boy running
after the first, a lad with a strap and a bundle
of books.
' Young Gallaway,' said Sir Charles. ' ITis
father died too youno-. If he had lived he
would have foiled for a far larger amount. The
Gallaways have been in the oil line for many
years. That boy's uncle is a warm man. Oli
yes, a warm man ; I remember he lost money
by me.'
Sir Charles spoke as if tlie more this warm
man had lost by him, the warmer he had
become.
At the end of tlie green tlie two boys were
joined by a third, and tliey all set off walking
together as fast as they could.
' Young Massey,' said Mr. Skantiebury.
