Each waited for the other. "His mother " said Emlie at last. Elmer Wiggins' lips trembled. "You must tell her, Colonel she mustn't hear it this way " "My God, how can I!" The Colonel's voice broke, but only for a second, then he braced himself to his martyrdom.
"Because I'd like to go up to you, man fashion, grip your hand, slap you on the back, and shout 'By Jove, old man, you've made a deal that would turn the sunny side of Wall Street green with envy! How did you do it, mother? And without a lawyer! I'll bet Emlie is mad because he didn't get a chance to put his finger in your pie."
"Yes," he went on in answer to a question he read in the Colonel's eyes, "came up to see about the Champo property. Emlie told me this morning. Mr. Van Ostend and Tave and Father Honoré are up there now; I saw the automobile standing in the driveway as I came up on the car. Guess Tave has run the place about as long as he wants to alone.
And there's Octavius Buzzby I don't think he would mind my telling you now indeed, I don't believe he'd have the courage to tell you himself " Father Honoré smiled happily, for he saw in Champney's face the light of awakening interest in the common life of humanity, and he felt a prolongation of this chat would clear the atmosphere of over-powering emotion, "there have never three months passed by these last six years that he hasn't deposited half of his quarterly salary with Emlie in the bank in your name "
Emlie will be constituted a Board of Overseers I know that in your hands the work will be advanced, and, I hope, prospered to the benefit of this generation and succeeding ones." Octavius Buzzby grasped his hand. "Mr. Van Ostend, I wish old Judge Champney was living to hear this! He'd approve, Mr. Van Ostend, he'd approve of it all and Mr. Louis too." "Thank you, Mr.

He wavered, in casting his vote, between the two principal candidates, young Emlie, Lawyer Emlie's son, and Luigi Poggi.
"All the old ones included, I see, Colonel," he ran over the names, "Quimber, Tave, Elmer Wiggins, Emlie, Poggi and Caukins" he laughed outright; "that's a good firm, Colonel," he said slyly, and the Colonel smiled his appreciation of the gentle insinuation "the manager at the sheds, and the new boss of the Upper Quarry?" He looked inquiringly at the Colonel on reading the last name.
Champney wants to see Father Honoré about her nephew?" "Because it looks that way. This afternoon, when you was out, she got me to move Mr. Louis' picture from the library to her room, and I had to hang it on the wall opposite her bed " Octavius paused "I believe she don't think she'll last long, and she don't look as if she could either. Last week she had Emlie up putting a codicil to her will.
Emlie, you'll drive me up in your trap we can get there before the men have a chance to get home keep a watch on the doings here in the town, Elmer, and telephone me if there's any trouble there's Romanzo coming now, I suppose he's got word from the office if you happen to see Father Honoré, tell him where I am, he will help "
Emlie says, 'How is she? and father shook his head and said, 'It's her death blow, then I squeezed Luigi's hand to make him look at me, and I asked him what it was Mrs. Googe's was sick of, for I must go and tell mother and he looked at Mr. Emlie and he nodded and said, 'It's town talk already it's in the papers.
