He could be seen returning late in the evening, seated upon an old pacing horse like a wounded warrior barely able to keep in his saddle. There was a report in Jordantown to the effect that real estate had fallen in value, that the workingmen were leaving, that bankruptcy and starvation stared every man in the face.
