He had told his unele that he memmt to ask Elsa: tor be his wife, and he had not Suggested that there was any doubt. But. a mere clerk in the Cable Com. pany is not in a position to marry, and the reason of Scarborough's letter was that he wanted to know whether his uncle's former offer of a place in his city house was still open to him. He bad stated his reasons frankly, saying that he had no newly-developed desire 10 spend lis days ou a stool in a City 'Bifice, but that he had a very present need of the £300 a year which his uncle had offered as a commencing salary if he agréed to sit on that stool.

And had other things net happened mean while, he would have looked forward wih eager hope to the letter which was comiug; for from past experience he knew that his uncles generosity, at the: least, was not likely to fail short of Mis promises. 'Finances arranged' would mean all that he had asked for, and probably more. Jt was 8 highly satisfactory answer.
