Daburon's disposal, and that perhaps he might not be free on the morrow, he quickly added, "No, not to-morrow; but this very evening.

This infernal money shall not remain another night in my keeping." He hurried out, and presently reappeared, holding in his hand fifteen notes of a thousand francs each.

"If that is not sufficient," said he, handing them to Noel, "you can have more." "Anyhow," replied the advocate, "I will give you a receipt for these." "Oh! never mind.

Time enough to-morrow." "And if I die to-night ?" "Then," said the old fellow to himself, thinking of his will, "I shall still be your debtor.

Good-night!" added he aloud.
