My name is Algernon Weatherhead, and I may add that I am in one of the government departments, that I am an only son, and live at home with my mother.
Make good bags, eh, Weatherhead?" I said that I did, very good bags, and felt I was getting painfully red in the face. "Oh, Algy is an excellent shot quite a sportsman," said my mother. "I remember, oh, long ago, when we lived at Hammersmith, he had a pistol, and he used to strew crumbs in the garden for the sparrows, and shoot at them out of the pantry window; he frequently hit one."
But all that was over now; he saw it himself at once, and during dinner sank into dismal silence, gazing pathetically at Lilian, and sighing almost obtrusively between the courses. His stream of small talk seemed to have been cut off at the main. "You've done a kind thing, Weatherhead," said the colonel. "I can't tell you all that dog is to me, and how I missed the poor beast.
I wondered, as I spoke, whether they would not notice the break in my voice, but they did not. "Why, the fact is," said the colonel, heavily, gnawing his gray moustache, "we've not heard anything of him since; he's he's run off!" "Gone, Mr. Weatherhead; gone without a word!" said Mrs. Currie, plaintively, as if she thought the dog might at least have left an address.
"If he were dead I should know it somehow I'm sure I should! But I'm certain he's alive. Only last night I had such a beautiful dream about him. I thought he came back to us, Mr. Weatherhead, driving up in a hansom-cab, and he was just the same as ever only he wore blue spectacles, and the shaved part of him was painted a bright red.
Plot of Fox Overthrown. Gift of Messrs. Brevoort and Weatherhead. Adventure with the Cheyennes. On this second excursion of Mr. Carson to Washington as bearer of dispatches, he learned at Santa Fe, that the Senate of the United States had refused to confirm his appointment as lieutenant. It was a great wrong. Party spirit then ran high at Washington.
