CHAPTER XVIII.
ANOTHER CLIENT.
Peter had seen his clients on the morning following the settlement of the cases, and told them of their good fortune.

They each had a look at Bohlmann's check, and then were asked how they would like their shares.
"Sure," said Dooley, "Oi shan't know what to do wid that much money." "I think," said Peter, "that your two thousand really belongs to the children." "That it does," said Mrs.Dooley, quite willing to deprive her husband of it, for the benefit of her children.
"But what shall Oi do wid it ?" asked Mr.Dooley.
"I'd like Mr.Stirling to take charge of mine," said Blackett.
"That's the idea," said Dooley.
And so it was settled by all.

Peter said the best thing would be to put it in the savings bank.

"Perhaps later we'll find something better." They all went around to a well-known institution on the Bowery, and Peter interviewed the cashier.

It proved feasible to endorse over the check to the bank, and credit the proper share to each.
"I shall have to ask you to give me the odd two hundred and fifty," Peter said, "as that is my legal fee." "You had better let me put that in your name, Mr.Stirling ?" said the president, who had been called into the consultation.
"Very well," said Peter.
