"'We learn from unimpeachable authority that the Hon. , who represents a district of our city in the State legislature, was yesterday united to the Quateroon daughter of the late Gustave Almont.
Almont, unless you are prepared to prove the information contained in this letter to be untrue, I wish you immediately to leave my dwelling, and, if you take my advice, you will also leave this village, for I cannot abide the sight of a wretch such as this letter proves you to be, and your silence be as testimony to its truth. Begone!
"When I was about eighteen years of age," continued Miss Simmonds, "a young lawyer, by the name of Almont, opened an office in this village, for the practice of his profession. He came among us suddenly, and he informed those with whom he first made acquaintance, that he had formerly resided in Massachusetts.
For one instant the placid blue eyes of Mr. Torrington were lit with a shiny white fire. "Van Diest will not be in this, Cassis," he said. "But look here, dear old Mr. Torrington," Lord Almont exclaimed. "Surely you agree that Barra ought to give us his trust." The old man smiled whimsically. "Think so?" he said. "I mean to say, we're not the kind of people to take advantage of a man." "Nonsense!
If you would lend me an arm, Lord Almont, we will speak a word of farewell to Barraclough through the wine cellar door." It was Cranbourne, who at the door of the flat thought of a final precaution, excused himself to his companions and asked leave to enter the bathroom.
I say, from the humble, but, heretofore, happy home, which your baseness has darkened by sorrow. As my father uttered these words, he stamped with his foot, and pointed to the door. Without a word, Mr. Almont left the house, and on the day following, we learned that he had left Littleton, and gone no one knew whither.
I made the find and as soon as I have turned it into actual possession, you will have the chance to exploit it, but until " "Yes, but half a shake, old son," said Lord Almont. "How about the marvellous healing properties all the jolly old hospitals we were going to endow. One doesn't want to be a dog in the manger." Barraclough grinned.
Almont, my entire forgiveness for all the sorrow you have caused me, and I hope you will also obtain the forgiveness of God. My father also came forward, and, taking his hand, granted him his forgiveness. When he finished speaking he seemed entirely exhausted. My father led him into the adjoining room, and assisted him to lie down upon his own bed.
*Closed Doors. *Cup of Tea, A. Glory of the Wild Green Earth, The. John O'May. Le Panache. BUZZELL, FRANCIS. Born in Romeo, Mich., 1882. His father was editor of the Romeo Hydrant, which Mr. Buzzell mentions in his Almont stories as the "Almont Hydrant." Moved when he was seven years old to Port Huron, Mich. Backward student.
"That was risky," remarked Lord Almont, "you might never have seen the jolly old bird again." "I told you he was a gentleman, didn't I?" Mr. Torrington leaned forward. "Does he know what we want of him?" "Roughly. I said it was to occupy a flat for three weeks." "Ah! Barraclough, I am disposed to think you would do wisely to retire into the next room while we interview this young gentleman.
