The Democratic National Convention to nominate a candidate for the presidency was but a month away. On the preceding evening, in a little room in the Hotel Torrence, Senator August, representing the sentiment of the Eastern democracy, and Senator Goodman, possessing full power to act for his party in the great West, had met to decide on a Democratic nominee. Dissension threatened.
From there, although he had until five in the afternoon to reach Brimfield Academy, he had departed after a breakfast eaten in the Terminal and had arrived at Brimfield at a little before nine. An hour had sufficed him to register and unpack his bag and trunk in the room assigned to him in Torrence Hall. Since that time and it was now almost twelve o'clock he had wandered about the school.
"I am convinced, beyond any question," said Torrence sharply, "that you are not the widow of the late Raymond B. Bashford!" "That statement," said Alice without ceasing the languid flutter of the fan, "is correct quite correct." "Certainly: it is entirely true," affirmed Mrs. Farnsworth.
Besides, on her wedding day, Grace Vernon would be twenty-three years of age, mistress of herself, her fortune, and her husband's home. That day would end the reign of Elizabeth Torrence. The arbiter was determined that the reign should end in a blaze of glory. As for Grace and Hugh, they were to be married.
The "service" on the estate was certainly abundant. It was only necessary to whistle and one of the Tyringham veterans would come running.

Joe must have left for Elmhurst immediately after the race because he failed to answer roll call. Then we ran across Dave Torrence, the famous inventor of the disappearing trump so much used by pinochle players.
Two years later the school was built and, under the title of Torrence Seminary, began a successful career which has lasted for thirty-two years. Under the principalship of Dr. Andrew Morey, the institution increased rapidly in usefulness, and in 1892 it was found necessary to add two wings to the original structure at a cost of $34,000, also the gift of the founder. Dr.
Pleydell, there is only one case upon record, Torrence and Waldie. They were, you remember, resurrection-women, who had promised to procure a child's body for some young surgeons. Being upon honour to their employers, rather than disappoint the evening lecture of the students, they stole a live child, murdered it, and sold the body for three shillings and sixpence.
