"He says he can't. Professes to be quite at sea as to the meaning of their sudden departure. Angry, too, for it seems they had a contract in the service." "I wouldn't believe him," broke in Hiram. "Anybody respectable about the meet can tell you that he is not to be trusted." "Well, the Dawsons are gone and Ridgely went away with them," said the revenue officer definitely.
"All right, and send in any reasonable bill you like for your service. We feel certain that this, Ridgely, driven from one district, will begin operations in another. Then, too, from what I learn these Dawsons are not above engaging in of off-color schemes." "They aren't!" cried Hiram. "If they had stayed, Mr. King said they'd be barred from the meets in a few days." "Well, help me all you can."
I saw him many times during this period, and I remember on one occasion I had seen a notice in one of the papers indicating that the President was about to appoint my old friend Mr. Charles Ridgely, of Springfield, Illinois, as Comptroller of the Currency.

"The girls are well. I do not know how long they will continue so. They seem to be foot-free. A great many visitors were turned off last night no room for them! A grand ball in honour of Mr. Peabody is to come off to-morrow, after which it is supposed there will be more breathing-space. I have seen Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ridgely of 'Hampton' since I wrote, also numerous other acquaintances.
