To be sure, Jack had cau- tioned her to guard them well, yet what better purpose could they serve than to be exchanged for the dread mortgage— she knew of none. She led the way into the lving-room expecting to find Jack. She was not aware of the arrival of his friend, nor had Mr. Chadeller any idea that either was in the house. Jack was rarely at home except on Sundays and an occasional Saturday afternoon, and .to a knowledge of this fact might safely be attributed Mr. Chadeller's presence in the house at this particular time.
