I find I have a little more, in fact nearly five hundred.

If you tell me that I can have the cottage, I will come down at once, for town is very dreary and we have been here all summer except a week at Margate.

Let me thank you again, you have been so very kind, and believe me, my dear sir, very sincerely yours, "MARY GODDARD." * * * * * "Augustin, my dear, this is very exciting," said Mrs.Ambrose, as she handed the cheque to her husband for inspection and returned the letter to its envelope, preparatory to marking it for future reference; and when, as has been said, she had written upon the outside the words--Goddard, Cottage, and had put it away she turned upon her husband with an inquiring manner peculiar to her.

Mr.Ambrose was standing before the window, looking out at the rain and occasionally glancing at the cheque he still held in his hand.
"Just like a woman to send a cheque to 'bearer' through the post," he remarked, severely.

"However since I have got it, it is all right." "I don't think it is all right, Augustin," said his wife.
