"Ginsling can give a good account of Ashton and Dr. Dalton. Can't you?" said Bottlesby. "I'll try," he answered, with a diabolical leer. "All I can say is this, in one of the cases I have frequently tried and never failed, and I think I'll manage the other." We will not trouble our readers by repeating any more of their very interesting and disinterested conversation.
A fellow that can't take a glass of liquor with a friend, without getting beastly drunk, is about the worst specimen of a slave a man could even imagine. It is men like you that furnish the teetotal fanatics with their strongest arguments, and because of such fellows sensible men must suffer." The words of Bottlesby had a magical effect upon Dalton, and he seemed to become sober in a moment.
"Oh, bosh about consistency," remarked Bottlesby; "I would not trust the rascal if he could make more than he could with us." But if he were ever so willing, the teetotal party 'wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole." That night, after they were through with the business part of their programme, a supper was held by them at the Bayton House. There were present Judge McGullett, Capt.

The question next considered was, What is the best means to adopt to make success certain? "I suppose you will employ the Dodger?" said Bottlesby.

Why, sir, you are at present full to the eyebrows, and your nose is a danger-signal to warn all young men to keep out of your track. It would have been well for me if I had heeded the warning." "Dalton," said Bottlesby, emphasizing his remarks with expletives that can have no place here, "I want no more of your insults, and if you don't shut up I'll make you.
Bottlesby stood like one stunned, as these words of indignation and scorn flowed from the lips of Mr. Gurney. He made no attempt to reply, but grew angry as he realized that the latter was well aware of the active part he had taken in the plots of the rum party; finally, cursing him as an old fanatic, he walked rapidly away. About the time the conversation which we have related occurred, Dr.
