`` You have my best wishes for your happiness , little Margery , '' said Lester , adding smilingly : `` And when ; the wedding occurs , which I hope will be soon , you may , expect a very handsome present from me . '' Long after Mr. Conway and his unexpected visitor had finished their simple breakfast , they talked over the strange situation of affairs , and what was best to be done to avoid great publicity . `` The bogus Lester Armstrong went to Beechwood last night , '' said the old cashier . `` He probably will remain there , as is his custom , until to-day noon . You had better confront him there ; meanwhile I will break the amazing story to those of the establishment whom it is absolutely necessary to tell . The rest of the employees and the public at large need never know of the glaring fraud that was so cleverly practised under their very eyes . '' Lester had sprung to his feet trembling with excitement , at the information that Kendale had gone to the home of Faynie , despite the fact that Mr. Conway had assured him that Kendale was not married .
