Wouldn't he feel mortified to be caught?" "No doubt he would." "I've a great mind to go down town to-morrow and look about for him." "Very well, Lonny. You may to if you want to." Alonzo did go; but he looked in vain for Phil. The latter was employed in doing some writing and attending to some accounts for Mr.
