Levi Lincoln, Mayor, and the following Aldermen: Parley Goddard, Benjamin F. Thomas, John W. Lincoln, James S. Woodworth, William B. Fox, James Estabrook, Isaac Davis, and Stephen Salisbury. The City Clerk was Charles A. Hamilton; the City Treasurer, John Boyden; and the City Marshal, George Jones. Since then it has made rapid strides in growth, influence, and prosperity.
Estabrook was already on the chauffeur's seat; as quickly as I tell it, the car had begun to pick up speed over the wet and slippery street. We flashed by a light or two and I saw that Margaret Murchie's eyes had lost their stare of unconsciousness. "Margaret," said I, "you are all right. Be sensible. There is Mr. Estabrook in front."
I climbed the balcony. The Judge was there. Estabrook was there. They both saw me. I fled with their staring eyes pursuing me. What more can I tell? You have heard. I am a miserable man. Estabrook listened to the story of Mortimer Cranch, sometimes staring into the wizened face of the speaker, sometimes gazing into the depths of the painted Gardens of Versailles.
You claim that your bonds were marked by certain numbers, two of which belong to those which were bought by Mr. Ford at the office to-day?" "Yes, sir." "Meanwhile, you and your stepson have had time to compare notes, and you have had a chance to learn his numbers." Mrs. Estabrook turned livid. "I didn't expect to have such a charge brought against me, Mr.
She comin' back, she say dis evenin'. She sutt'nly act very queer, sah." "All right," I snapped. "It's one of my clients." "Um-um," he said, shaking his head. "I spec she ain't, Mr. Estabrook, sah. She mos' likely has pussonal business, sah!"
"That woman is a viper!" he said. "In my house she has enjoyed every comfort and every consideration, and in return she has dealt me this foul blow. She will have cause to regret it." When they entered the house Mrs. Estabrook received them with false smiles. "So you are back again, Master Herbert," she said. "A fine fright you gave us!"
At each crossing we jumped, landing again to scoot forward to the next, where, through the opening of side streets, came the faint sound of whistles in the harbor; and still, Estabrook, confound him! to my cautions bellowed through the speaking-tube, paid no attention.
And she had led him a pretty chase but now . . . he was very sure of himself . . . How Little-Tweed-Suit a girl like Tweed-Suit came there upon the station platform of Estabrook is a long story; and it is not entirely hers or ours. Therefore only the briefest part, for this tale's sake, shall be set down here.
If it will help to guard against the danger spoken of by this man you address as Doctor, I will be satisfied." "You dog!" cried Estabrook, hot with emotions of violence. "It is you who were responsible for the death of Judge Colfax." The other held out his knotted hands toward me. "The whole story!" he cried. "Not a part. You must know the whole story." "Briefly," I commanded.
You understand that. Nor will any one be the wiser. She is not my daughter. I know nothing of her." "You know everything," I cried, as anger made me reckless. "It will not pay you to flourish that weapon. Listen!" "Some one else coming!" he whispered. "Yes," I shouted. "You have seen him before. It is young Estabrook."
