There followed a short silence, then the strong man shook himself and opened his lips. 'Do you know my idea? he blurted out. 'What's that, Mr. Lott? 'If I were you I wouldn't go to see Bowles. Better for me to do that. We've only gossip to go upon, and we know what that often amounts to. Leave Bowles to me, and go and see your son. 'But I don't even know where he's living. 'You don't?

Daffy began to be old; he was shoulder-bent, knee-shaky, and had a pallid, wrinkled visage, with watery, pathetic eye. At fifty turned, Mr. Lott showed a vigour and a toughness such as few men of any age could rival. For a score of years the measure of Mr. Lott's robust person had been taken by Mr.

'It isn't often a thing happens so luckily, he said to himself. 'First-rate whip; hardly a bit damaged. Harry'll like it none the worse for my having handselled it. At the station he found Mr. Daffy and Bowles, who regarded him with questioning looks. 'Nothing to be got out of him, said Mr. Lott. 'Bowles, I want a talk with you and Jane; it'll be best, perhaps, if I go back home with you. Mr.

The stopping of the train at an intermediate station, where new passengers entered, put an end to the confidential talk. Mr. Daffy, breathing hard, struggled with his painful thoughts; the timber-merchant, deeply meditative, let his eyes wander about the carriage. As they drew near to the London terminus, Mr. Lott bent forward to his friend.

H. Hayward was born at Lebanon, Connecticut, in 1824, was brought to Cleveland in 1826, received a good common school education, and at the age of fifteen became an apprentice to the printing business in the office of Sanford & Lott. At the end of his five years apprenticeship he was admitted as partner, solely because of his proficiency, not having any capital to put in. Mr.

Lott glared and glowered, but, with all that, had something in his face which hinted softness. The dialogue did not continue much longer; it ended with a promise from Mrs. Bowles to let her father know whether her husband succeeded or not in re-establishing himself. Thereupon they shook hands without a word, and Mr. Lott left the house.

One eye was fixed upon me, dull and glassy; it never blinked, it never wavered. With the help of the other he continued his writing. "I mean," I explained, coming entirely into the room, "are these the offices of Lott & Co.?" "It's one of them," he replied; "the back one. If you're really anxious for a job, you can shut the door."

This grant is owned by the Durham estate and Judge C.F. Lott, though Gruelly owns a large slice of it also. The Neal grant is mostly composed of rich bottom-lands; nearly all of it is farmed under lease; the lessees pay one-quarter to one-third of the crops as rent. They do very well under this arrangement. "The next grant on the north is that of Judge O.C. Pratt.
