CHAPTER X
13/62

I will keep the cheque, John.
I will draw out his money and give it to you.

Good gracious, boy! you are like James Penhallow." "That's praise for a fellow!" said John.
Ann had the courage of her race and meant at last to see this thing through at all costs.

The man had made his money and should have it.

She was now resolute to take her share in the perilous matter she had started; and after all she was the wife of James Penhallow of Grey Pine; who would dare to question her?
As to George Grey, she dismissed him with a low laugh and wondered when that long-desired guest would elect to leave Grey Pine.
At ten on Monday Billy, for choice, drove her over to the bank at the mills.

The young cashier was asked about his sick sister, and then rather surprised as he took the cheque inquired, "How will you have it, ma'am?
Josiah must be getting an investment." "One hundred in fifties and the rest--oh, fifty in fives, the rest in ones." She drove away, and in an hour gave the notes to John in an envelope, asking no questions.
