"I guess nothing but New York will be good enough for Hugh now. He'll be taking Cousin Sarah away from us." "Not at all, my dear," said my mother, gently, "he's going into Mr. Watling's office next autumn." "Theodore Watling?" demanded Cousin Robert, pausing in his carving. "Yes, Robert. Mr. Watling has been good enough to say that he would like to have Hugh. Is there anything ?"
This matter among others was the subject of discussion one July morning when the Republican State Chairman was in the city; Mr. Grunewald expressed anxiety over Mr. Jason's continued silence. It was expedient that somebody should "see" the boss. "Why not Paret?" suggested Leonard Dickinson. Mr. Watling was not present at this conference. "Paret seems to be running Watling's campaign, anyway."
I'm going to send Paret down with them on the night train." It was clear to me then, in the discussion following, that Mr. Watling's gift of persuasion, though great, was not the determining factor in Mr. Gorse's decision. He, too, possessed boldness, though he preferred caution. Nor did the friendship between the two enter into the transaction.
Watling's letter and the talk in the bank I became impatient and irritated by the intrusion. But what answer should I give to Dickinson and Gorse? what excuse for declining such an offer? I decided, as may be imagined, to wait, to temporize.
"We'll come abroad another time, and go to France," I said. "Maude, you're splendid!" She shook her head. "Oh, no, I'm not." "You do satisfy me," I insisted. "It isn't that at all. But I think, perhaps, it would be wiser to go back. It's rather a crucial time with me, now that Mr. Watling's in Washington.
Jason's favour: even Judge Bering, whose acquaintance I had made the day I had come, as a law student, to Mr. Watling's office, unbent from time to time sufficiently to call there for a small glass of rye and water, and to relate, with his owl-like gravity, an anecdote to the "boys." The saloon represented Democracy, so dear to the American public.
Paret," he observed. "Know who you are, of course, knew you were in Watling's office. Then some of the boys spoke about you when you were down at the legislature on that Ribblevale matter. Guess you had more to do with that bill than came out in the newspapers eh?" I was taken off my guard. "Oh, that's talk," I said. "All right, it's talk, then?
"I guess nothing but New York will be good enough for Hugh now. He'll be taking Cousin Sarah away from us." "Not at all, my dear," said my mother, gently, "he's going into Mr. Watling's office next autumn." "Theodore Watling?" demanded Cousin Robert, pausing in his carving. "Yes, Robert.

The seat of the local government is in the island of New Providence, and the inhabitants of Watling's Island and of Rum Cay unite in sending one representative to the House of Assembly. It is high water, full and change, at Watling's Island at 7 h. 40 m., as it was in the days of Columbus; and these facts form about the sum of the world's knowledge of and interest in Watling's Island to-day.
So that there is a profound symbolism in those raying beams that now, night after night, month by month, and year after year, shine out across the sea from Watling's Island in the direction of the Old World. In the preparations for this voyage, and in the conduct and accomplishment of it, the personality of the man Columbus stands clearly revealed.
