During the afternoon, Leon
was so nervous and uneasy
that he could scarcely keep
his seat.
There were two ways now
in which he nuulil he detect-
ed. His mother might go to
the burcalulrmver and find
that the bank-book was miss-
ing. or the mshier might ca;
ually ask Mr. Parker. if the
latter had occasion to enter
the bank, If his son llfltl an
Lisa efgoing into business.
A questlon like that would,
of course, excite the lawyer's
curiosity, and might lead to
inquiries on his part that
would bring the whole plot
to light.
It was only by neglecting
his books entirely,
and dwelling upon
the joys oi n hunts:-‘s
life, that Leon could
keep up his courage.

ly in every one of his
reuitations, and his
teacher, losing all pu-

lessons were not fully
mastered by the next
time he came in to
the class-room, he
would have the pri<

“Not much ‘I
won't study thnse1es-
sons after school!”
said Leon to himself,
as he returned to his seat. “I have been kept as a db-
linquent for the last time. I hope that utter to-day I
shall never see a school-hook.”
When the cousins started for home that night. the
fears that had haunted them all the (lay long increased
ten-fold.
Leon (lid not want to face his lhther and mother
after what he had (lone, uml he took good care to
keep out of their way until supper-time.
It Wm a wonder that Mr. and Mrs. Parker (lid not
suspect the boys of some wrong-doing, for tlioirngitm
tion, when they came down stairs in response to the
call of thebell, was almost too palpable to escape notice.
