Conners and Brayton were Treadwell's seconds. Since it is not considered fair to have the referee or time-keeper from either class represented in a fight, Edgerton and Wheeler, of the second class, were referee and time-keeper respectively. All of the young men were early at the usual fighting ground.
I hurried home, vexed with my want of coolness doubly vexed at the belief that other eyes than my own were witnesses of the attentions of Edgerton to my wife. I stopped at the entrance of our cottage. HE was there as usual. Mrs. Porterfield was not present. The candle was burning dimly. He sat upon the sofa. Julia was seated upon chair at a little distance.
It was still possible that Julia had repulsed him. I had seen HIS audacity only was it followed by HER guilt? How shall that be known? I could answer this question as Kingsley would have answered it. "If your wife be honest, she must now reveal the truth. She can no longer forbear. The proceeding of Edgerton has been too decided, and she shares his guilt if she longer keeps it secret.
"The flats mostly have their own, miss. But there's a box just round the corner." "Go to it then, at once, and ring up the Ritz Hotel. Ask for Mr. Hersheimmer, and when you get him tell him to get Sir James and come on at once, as Mrs. Vandemeyer is trying to hook it. If you can't get him, ring up Sir James Peel Edgerton, you'll find his number in the book, and tell him what's happening.
I did not so immediately perceive that in looking after him, I was, in truth, looking after Julia; for what was my watch upon Edgerton but a watch upon her?

Either the wife is virtuous or she is not.
It required a strong effort to seem deliberate in what I spoke. "Kingsley," I said, "perhaps I did not pay sufficient heed to your observations. Do you mean to convey to my mind the idea that people think Edgerton too familiar with my wife? Do you mean to say that such a notion is abroad? That there is anything wrong?" "By no means." "Ah! then there is nothing in it. I see no reason for suspicion.
We had scarcely got in motion before a rash determination seized my mind. "You must go home with me, Edgerton. It will not do, while you are in this feeble state, to remain at a public tavern." He said something very faintly about crowding and inconveniencing us. "Pshaw room enough and Julia can be your nurse." His eyes closed, he sunk back in the carriage, and a deep sigh escaped him.
Edgerton into a Russian bath. I need not enlarge upon the value of this most admirable appliance all the most enlightened men of the medical profession know it and esteem it as it deserves, though its use in rheumatic affections and cutaneous diseases has hitherto received more study than in the class of maladies where its employment is perhaps the most beneficial of all the nervous.
I listened for the reply. A deep sigh followed; and then I heard a reluctant, faint utterance of the single word, "Nothing!" "Nothing?" repeated the old lady. "Surely, Julia, there was something. Recollect yourself. You know you rode home with Mr. Edgerton. It was past one o'clock " "No more no more, mother. There was nothing nothing that I recollect. I know nothing of what happened.
It has closed. You must take care of them." They said that Mrs. Edgerton brought them from the asylum, and sent them here in the express wagon. The office being locked, the driver left them on the steps at 6 o'clock A. M. As they had eaten nothing during the night, Levi Coffin furnished them with food, while Rev.
