know myself how much their scalps
bring in the market--I might set you up in the business."

"I am not so foolish as I was. I prefer some other business. Philip told
me--"

"Where is Philip?" asked Jennie eagerly.

"I left him in the parlor. He said I had better come in first."

"Go and call him. Invite him, with my compliments, to stay to dinner."

Henry left the room, and reappeared almost immediately with Philip.

Both boys were perfectly neat in appearance, for Philip had insisted on
going to a hotel and washing and dressing themselves.

As he followed Henry into the room, with modest self-possession, his
cheeks glowing with a healthy color, both Jennie and Mr. Taylor were
instantly prepossessed in his favor.

"I am glad to see you, Philip," said the broker, "and beg to thank you,
not only for the material help you gave Henry, but also for the good

"I hope you will."

Within an hour Miss Jennie appeared to feel well acquainted with her
brother's friend, for she dropped "Mr. Gray" altogether, and called him
Philip.

At her solicitation he played on his violin. Both Mr. Taylor and Jennie
were surprised at the excellence of his execution.

When Philip rose to go, Mr. Taylor said cordially:

"I cannot permit you to leave us, Philip. You must remain here as our
guest."

"But, sir, I left my things at a hotel."

"Then Henry will go with you and get them."

So Philip found himself established in a fine house on Madison Avenue as
a favored guest.

The next morning, when Mr. Taylor went to his office, he asked Philip
to go with him. Arrived in Wall Street, he sent a boy to the bank with
a check. On his return,
