gray eye.

"No, sir; but----"

"That's all I desire to know, Mrs. Redburn," interrupted the
agent. "You must leave the house."

"But, sir, I have something that will do as well as the money,"
added the sick woman.

"Have you, indeed?" sneered Dr. Flynch "I think not."

"Will you read that, sir?" said Katy, handing him Mrs. Gordon's
receipt.

The agent took the paper, and as he read, the wonted serenity of
his brow was displaced by a dark scowl. His threats had been
disregarded, and he had been reported to his employer.

"So you have been fawning and cringing upon Mrs. Gordon," growled
he. "Probably you have told her more lies than you dared tell
me."

"I told her nothing but the truth, and she sent her man down here
to find out all about us, said Katy, smartly.

"Very well; this paper will only delay the matter for a few days;
when I have exposed you to her, she will acquiesce in my views;"
and Dr. Flynch threw down the receipt and left the house.
