In five minutes, Hugh Johnstone called the Bank Governor to his side.

"There is your receipt, duly signed, and your cheque to balance, Mr.Governor.

We are now both relieved of a tiresome controversy.

Will you please bring in the others ?" With a pleasant smile, the flush of a great happiness upon his face, Hugh Fraser Johnstone remarked: "I desire to state publicly that Madame Louison and my self have, in this little transaction, closed all our affairs.

I have given to her a quit-claim release of all and every demand whatsoever." With kindly eyes, Berthe Louison listened to a few murmured words from Hugh Johnstone.
