Harry. "I have not the money with me."

"I don't believe it. You had it this morning. And Joel has been with
you ever since; so you haven't had time to hide it."

"So that was the reason you favored me with your company, Joel," said
Harry, with a glance at his guardian's son.

"All you've got to do is to hand over that money now, Harry Vane.
Mind, I intend to have it."

"I assure you, Mr. Fox, that I haven't the money with me."

"Where is it, then?" asked Mr. Fox, incredulous.

"I have put it into the hands of a gentleman in whom I have
confidence, who will take care of it for me."

"What's the man's name?" demanded John Fox.

"That is my secret."

"You have rebelled against my lawful authority. Maria, what is it my
duty to do with this boy?"

"Lock him up!" answered Mrs. Fox, grimly.

"A good suggestion, Mrs. F. Imprisonment may change the boy's ideas.
He may repent his base conduct."
