* Article I, section VIII, 18. Almost the first official act of the Senate of the United States, after it had perfected its own organization, was the appointment of a committee "to bring in a bill for organizing the judiciary of the United States." This committee consisted of eight members, five of whom, including Oliver Ellsworth, its chairman, had been members of the Federal Convention.
"By the way, my daughter " said Mr. Ellsworth, sitting up uneasily. "Never mind," said Dan Anderson, gently. "Miss Constance is all right. They'll take care of her just as well as I'll take care of you. Everybody will be more sociable by about noon to-morrow. The whole town's scared yet." "I don't see anything very terrible about me," said Mr. Ellsworth.
Physically, too, he grew very tired, for no burden is heavier to bear than that of doubt and indecision. One afternoon Ellsworth entered his office to find Dave waiting for him. The young man began in a shaky, husky voice: "I can't stand it, Judge. I'm going to pieces, fast." "You do look bad." "Yes. I don't sleep. I'm so irritable I can't get along up at the courthouse. I'm licked.
It seemed, therefore, that the future was all sunshine. He had no opportunity of speaking with Judge Ellsworth until court adjourned. Then the judge took him by the arm, with that peculiarly flattering assumption of intimacy of which he was master, and led the way toward his office, inquiring meanwhile for news of Jonesville.
"I'm only six minutes late," I said; "Silver Foxes always show up." "Well, let us hope so," Mr. Ellsworth said And I kind of saw that something was wrong. "Westy isn't here," somebody shouted. "He'll be here in a minute," I said; "get to work; you should worry about Westy." But just the same I felt sort of uncomfortable because one thing Mr. Ellsworth is a stickler about is us being on time.
"Highly important; Ellsworth is hard at work, too, in tracing the past life of the sailor, and by his last letters, I find he had written to young Stanley's school-master, and to the family physician. He had seen the sailor, and in addition to Mr.
Ellsworth beckoned Porter Barkley to him for talk of business nature, so that Constance sat well-nigh alone when Madame Alicia Donatelli came sweeping in, tall, comely, sombre, and, it must be confessed, hungry.
"Sit down, I beg, and tell me at once all you choose to trust me with," she continued, taking a seat on the sofa. Harry followed her example. "You are only likely to hear a great deal too much of it I fear, if you permit Ellsworth and myself to talk the matter over before you." He then proceeded to give some of the most important facts, as far as he knew them himself, at least.
On the third floor, neatly divided and accommodated with baths and dressing-rooms, were the nursery, the servants' quarters, and several guest-chambers. Ellsworth showed Cowperwood books of designs containing furniture, hangings, etageres, cabinets, pedestals, and some exquisite piano forms.
Donnelle has become greatly interested in the Scouts, and especially in our young scout author." Then he gave me a funny look. "So you see our dark memorandum was not so dark after all." "G o o d night!" I said; "it was a kind of a pale white." "And I dare say," Mr. Ellsworth said, all the while slapping me on the shoulder, "that our deep-dyed villain is going to prove a very good friend."
