CHAPTER XI.
JACOBI.
When Jacobi entered his room, he found a letter lying on the table near his bed.

He recognised the handwriting as that of Judge Frank, and quickly opened it.

A bank-note of considerable value fell out; and the letter contained the following words: "You are indebted to several persons in the city, Jacobi, with whom I wish, for your own sake, that you should have as little to do as possible.

Within, you will find the means of satisfying their demands.

Receive it as from a paternal friend, who sincerely wishes you to regard him as such, and who embraces with pleasure an opportunity of making an acknowledgment to the friend and instructor of his children.
