It was supposed that he had laid up some money, but no one thought he had over four or five hundred dollars. "I wish you had about three thousand dollars," said Merwin to him, one day. Merwin's business had turned out well. In five years, he had cleared over twenty thousand dollars. "Why?" asked Peyton. "I know a first-rate chance for you." "Indeed. Where?"
"If they get a big lead, Grant may pitch it through and win. Why doesn't Merwin take Oakes out?" But Oakes remained on the slab, and Nelson, seeking to drive the ball through an infield opening, batted straight at Carney, who winged the sphere across for a put-out. "Only one more," said Merwin encouragingly. "Get Barker, Oakesie."

"What is this all about, Miss Merwin?" he demanded of the clerk. "I am charged with stealing a twenty-dollar lavalliére!" exclaimed the customer. "Oh, impossible, madam!" said the detective, evidently recognizing her. "Then this girl, who was nearest, may have it," said madam, sharply. Nan was very much frightened; yet her sense of honesty came to her rescue. She cried: "Why should I be accused?
You would promise to keep back the punishment of some little tough, broad-bottomed Dutch boy, until I could come, for my amusement but never kept your promise." The following notice of the death of "Ichabod Crane" appeared in the Westchester Herald for November 30, 1852: "Jesse Merwin died at Kinderhook on the 8th instant, at the age of seventy years. Mr.
Sorry we can't arrange it for you." Merwin went back to his little bare office and plaited at his quirt again. About four o'clock in the afternoon he went to the First National Bank and leaned over the railing of Longley's desk. "I'll try to get that money for you to-night I mean to-morrow, Bill." "All right, Tom," said Longley quietly.
A slim, gloved hand was frankly extended from the window, and the next moment the carriage rolled away. "Isn't Islington throwing away a chance there?" said Captain Merwin, on the veranda. "Perhaps he couldn't stand my lovely aunt's superadded presence. But then, he's the guest of Blanche's father, and I dare say they see enough of each other as it is."

Rolph and Mr. Heman Merwin, who had joined them, that if they would make a windlas and fasten it to a couple of saplings that stood near, and then procure some ropes, he would be let down and get the deer. The apparatus was prepared; the rope was tied round Palmer's body, and he was let down.
Jack had also an arithmetical puzzle which he had learned from his father, and which many of the readers of this story will know, perhaps. "Set down any number, without letting me know what it is," said he to Joanna Merwin. She set down a number. "Now add twelve and multiply by two." "Well, that is done," said Joanna.
The scheme was strongly opposed by many on account of the debt it would involve. But it was finally accomplished, and we are more indebted to Richard Hilliard for its achievement than to any other man. Shortly after coming to Cleveland he became engaged to Miss Mary Merwin, daughter of Noble H. Merwin, who died before the marriage.
