Hueston, on reference being made to a young man named Eldridge, who had recently commenced business. "Why not?" was asked. "He's begun wrong." "In what way?" "His connection is bad." "With Dalton?" "Yes. Dalton is either a knave or a fool. The former, I believe; but in either case the result will be the same to his partner.
"You knew how it would be," resumed the gentleman, in a severe, rebuking voice, "and yet kept silence, permitting an honest, confiding young man to fall into the clutches of a scoundrel. Mr. Hueston, society holds you responsible for the ruin of one of its members, equally responsible with the knave who was the agent of the ruin.
Soon after the conversation, a young man, named Williams, who had only a year before married the daughter of Mr. Hueston, came into his store with a look of trouble on his countenance. His business was that of an exchange-broker, and in conducting it he was using the credit of his father-in-law quite liberally. "What's the matter?" inquired Mr.

"He was badly dealt by." "There is no doubt of that," returned Mr. Hueston. "Dalton managed his cards with his usual skill. But I knew how it would be from the first.
Hueston so much astonished and bewildered by the unexpected charge, as scarcely to comprehend where he was. Recovering himself in a moment or two, he walked slowly along, his eyes upon the ground, with what feelings the reader may imagine.
And what added to the pain of Eldridge was the fact, that he should have been so weak and short-sighted as to permit himself to be thus duped and cheated. "I knew how it would be," said Mr. Hueston, coolly, when he was told that Eldridge was in difficulties. "Nothing else was to have been expected." "Why so?" inquired the person to whom the remark was made.
I find as much as I can do to take proper care of my own." "And yet, if common report is true, had you taken a little care of this young man, you would have saved six or seven thousand dollars for yourself." "That's my look-out," said Mr. Hueston.
