Chapter XV
A NEW YORK SAINT. “Really, I can’t wait so long,” said the kind friend of Wade Brooks. “But I know the people in the bank; and, if you will give me the money, they will do the business at once.” This looked like a reasonable plan, and Wade felt quite willing to adopt it. “I haven’t twenty dollars left to put into the bank,” said he, taking the wallet from his pocket.
