It was in truth another Flamsted, the industrial Flamsted which the Colonel predicted six years before on that memorable evening in the office of The Greenbush.
They saw the Colonel on the outside of the crowd; saw him suddenly turn and make with all haste for the post-office; saw him reappear reading the paper. The two hurried across the street to him. "What's the matter?" Emlie demanded. The Colonel spoke no word. He held the sheet out to them and with shaking forefinger pointed to the headlines: BIG EMBEZZLEMENT BY FLAMSTED QUARRIES CO. OFFICIAL
The Colonel, as a result of continued oratory in favor of his son-in-law's candidacy, is laid up at home with an attack of laryngitis; but he has strength left to whisper to Elmer Wiggins who has come up to see him: "Yesterday, after twenty years of solid work, Flamsted entered upon its industrial majority through the throes of civic travail," a mixture of metaphors that Mr.
"Why, Father Honoré, I didn't expect you to-night didn't you have the What is it? oh, what is it!" she cried, for the priest's face betrayed him. "Joyful news, Mrs. Googe," he let her read his face "your son is a free man to-night." There was no outcry on the mother's part; but her hands clasped each other till the nails showed white. "Where is he now?" "Here, in Flamsted "

"Well, I don't care," he muttered, but joining heartily in her laugh; "I've heard of fellows like me going into a decline just out of pure homesickness over there."

Champney and he told me this not six weeks before he died; and the interest on forty thousand has equalled the principal by this time, and you know best why he hasn't had his own I ain't blind and nobody else here in Flamsted.
On the contrary, he firmly believed that his inherited obstinate perseverance, his buoyant temperament, his fortunate business connection with the great financier, his position as the meeting-point of the hitherto divided family interests in Flamsted, his intimacy with the Van Ostends the distant tie of blood confirming this at all points plus his college education and cosmopolitan business training in the financial capitals of Europe, were potent factors in finding the value of x this representing to him an, as yet, unknown quantity of accumulated wealth.
