“And please remember,” said Mary, in tearfully haughty tones, as she handed back the ring, “that when we meet again we meet as perfect strangers.”
A few days later the fair maid entered the bank to cash a cheque. Of course, Charlie was on duty. He took the slip of paper, eyed It bacic and front, and then, instead of counting out the money, handed back the cheque. His time for revenge had come!
