Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

"The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him"

Stirling?"
"Yes."
"Well, I filled this up by order of the president, and you'll have to
see him about it, if you want more than me money."
"Can I see him?"
"Come this way."
They went into a small office at the end of the bank.
"Mr. Dyer," said the cashier, "this is Mr. Stirling, and he's come to
see about that check."
"Glad to see you, Mr. Stirling. Sit down."
"I wish to learn who sent the check."
"Very sorry we can't oblige you. We had positive instructions from the
person for whom we drew it, that no name was to be given."
"Can you receive a letter?"
"That was forbidden too."
"A message?"
"Nothing was said about that."
"Then will you do me the favor to say to the lady that the check will
not be cashed till Mr. Stirling has been able to explain something to
her."
"Certainly. She can't object to that."
"Thank you."
"Not at all." The president rose and escorted him to the door. "That was
a splendid speech of yours, Mr. Stirling," he added.
