It is like the x in algebra, and interesting as the unknown quantity." Grace smiled a little. She was thinking of a different kind of "unknown quantity." "Don't you want to hear Mrs. Hayden's letter?" asked Kate, wondering more and more over the distrait manner and dreamy absorption of her friend. "The letter, why, of course; where is it?" "Here; shall I read it?" "Certainly."
You see there were some people to dinner, and afterward, there were enough for bridge without me, so I just slipped away without a word to anybody and hid myself in a box. And I do hope you're hungry, Bobby. I am dreadfully. Nothing makes me so hungry as a play. Well, we'll all have some supper after a bit." Hayden's heart sang.
But to be quite accurate, the state of the weather had nothing whatever to do with the state of Hayden's mind.
It was a gray afternoon, and as it wore on toward evening now and again a flurry of snow blew whitely from the sullen skies, and the leaping flame of the fire which had put to rout any lurking shadows was now in turn defied by them. "A lady to see you, sir." Tatsu stood at Hayden's elbow. "A lady to see me? Here?" Hayden roused from his apathy to exclaim. "Yes, sir."

Ah, yes, of course. Down the stairs the professor of Comparative Literature felt his way to food.
He would not let those torturing doubts invade his mind. With every force of his nature he would again resist them and bar them out. "Yes," Penfield was gloating, "I'm on to the butterflies, at last." "Why should you imagine that they have any special significance?" Hayden's voice sounded faint and dull in his ears. "Because I have a nose for news, Hayden. I was born with it.
"Because," replied Hayden smoothly, "the er little favor you were to grant me in return is to be made useless by the courts." "Can I help that?" the mayor demanded. "Was there anything about that in the agreement? I did my work. I want my pay. I'll have it, Mister Hayden." Hayden's voice was cool and even as he spoke to Bland. "Got the money, Joe?" "Yes," Bland answered. "Where?"
Mainly through Hayden's influence and foresight Congress withdrew the tract now comprising Yellowstone National Park from occupancy or sale, and dedicated and set it apart as a public park or pleasure ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people. The bill was signed by the president March 1, 1872.
