The eye of every inmate of the perfect boarding house was on him. Even the "hired help" peered from the kitchen door. "He's a stranger," whispered Mrs. Tripp. "I never see him before, did you, Mr. Tidditt?" The town clerk did not answer.

Lying back in the stern, Melville enjoyed their tranquil passage, when their attention was suddenly attracted by a boy who stood on the bank, frantically waving his hat. Melville was the first to see him. "What can that boy want?" he asked. Herbert immediately looked around, and exclaimed in surprise: "It's Tom Tripp!" "Row to shore, and see what he wants," said Melville, quickly.

The new postmaster's jaw fell, and he looked uneasy, for he always grudged the money he paid out, even the paltry dollar and a half which went to poor Tom.

Grisolles mentions a child who was so fat at twelve months that there was constant danger of suffocation; but, marvelous to relate, it lost all its obesity when two and a half, and later was remarkable for its slender figure. McNaughton describes Susanna Tripp, who at six years of age weighed 203 pounds and was 3 feet 6 inches tall and measured 4 feet 2 inches around the waist.

When I told Tripp what the old superintendent said, he replied, "George, it's the best night's work we ever did." So I told my partners to work up the business, and when I saw everything was O.

"By the way, how did you happen to get a berth like this, young man?" questioned Tripp. "I thought a fellow by the name of Snowden was running Car Three for old man Sparling." "He was." "Closed?" "Yes." "What for?" "I would rather not talk about that. You will have to ask headquarters, or Snowden himself.

Monday morning after breakfast Captain Cy's trunk was put aboard the depot wagon, and Dan'l Webster drew it to its owner's home. The farewells at the perfect boarding house were affecting.
