"By virtue of circumstance, my dear sir," replied the Major, composedly. "Its a part of my duty, in attending to those affairs you wont look afther yourself, to lend certain sums of your money to needy and ambitious young men who want a start in life." "Oh, Uncle! Do you do that?" exclaimed Miss Patricia Doyle, who sat between her uncle and father and kept an active eye upon both. "So the Major says," answered Uncle John, dryly. "And its true," asserted the other. "Hes assisted three or four score young men to start in business in the last year, to my certain knowledge, by lending them sums ranging from one to three thousand dollars. And its the most wasteful and extravagant charity I ever heard of."
