 On arriving in New York Mark took his young charge at once to the house of Mr. Gilbert.
 
It was at the close of the day, and Mr. Gilbert had returned from his office. He received Mark with great cordiality.
 
"True and faithful, as I expected!" he said. "How did you enjoy your trip?"
 
"Very much, sir. I hope, some day, to visit California again."
 
"So you are Philip Lillis, my boy," continued Mr. Gilbert kindly1. "Do you think you shall like to live in New York?"
 
"Yes, sir."
 
"Were you sorry to leave California?"
 
"No, sir; Mr. Sprague and Oscar did not treat me well. I would rather live with you."
 
"Your father was a cousin and dear friend. I will try to make his boy comfortable and happy. Mark, will you stay to supper?"
 
"I should like to very much, but I have not yet seen my mother."
 
"That is sufficient excuse. Your first duty is to her. Wait a moment. I must express my acknowledgments to you in a substantial manner."
 
Mr. Gilbert sat down at his desk and wrote a check, which he inclosed in an envelope.
 
"Open it when you get home," he said.
 
"I have a balance of about forty dollars belonging to you, Mr. Gilbert, from my expense money."
 
"Keep it. I am sure it will be more useful to you than to me."
 
"How kind you are, Mr. Gilbert!"
 
"I hope to continue so. Take a few days for rest, and then come round to my counting-room and we will talk of your future prospects2."
 
Mrs. Mason gave Mark a glad welcome.
 
"I am so glad to see you," she said.
 
"I hope you did not want for money while I was gone."
 
"No; I still have half the money you gave me from Mr. Gilbert when you went away. Shall I give it back to you?"
 
"No, mother; keep it for current expenses. Mr. Gilbert gave me a check just now, but I don't know how much it is."
 
He opened the envelope and took out the check.
 
"It is for two hundred dollars!" he exclaimed. "Mother, we are growing rich. With the balance in my hands, which Mr. Gilbert told me to keep, I have two hundred and forty dollars."
