Pegram; "but, you know, we had a kind of a warning, before we moved in, that all wasn't quite as it should be, and, as bad luck would have it, there was a Boston paper come round her new coat, with a story in it that laid out to be true, of noises and appearances, and one thing and another, in a house right there to Boston, and Sally she says to me, 'If they believe in them things to Boston, where they don't believe in nothing they can't see and handle, if all we hear's true, there must be something in it, and I only wish I'd read that piece before we took the house.
'Tell me about it, he said simply. 'Old Barrie Kipson, I began, 'was a stockbroker in the City. He lived in Pegram, and it was his custom to 'COME IN! shouted Kombs, without changing his position, but with a suddenness that startled me. I had heard no knock. 'Excuse me, said my friend, laughing, 'my invitation to enter was a trifle premature.
Nothing is original. Everything has been done before. What about the Pegram affair? 'The Pegram ah case has baffled everyone. The Evening Blade wishes you to investigate, so that it may publish the result. It will pay you well. Will you accept the commission? 'Possibly. Tell me about the case. 'I thought everybody knew the particulars. Mr. Barrie Kipson lived at Pegram.
Some moments after the pallid Minister looked over the work of destruction, but no trace of humanity was there except himself. "I could not do otherwise," he murmured, "It was too great a risk to run." I dropped in on my friend, Sherlaw Kombs, to hear what he had to say about the Pegram mystery, as it had come to be called in the newspapers.
But what you may call the interesting part of the affair happened after, for when the two months was up, instead of selling his house and taking himself off to practise his games elsewhere, if Teddy Pegram didn't return to Little Silver, meek as Moses, and a reformed character!
The death of our noted cavalry leader was a great blow to our cause a loss second only to that of Jackson. Captain W. Gordon McCabe writes me: "I was sitting on my horse very near to General Lee, who was talking to my colonel, William Johnson Pegram, when a courier galloped up with the despatch announcing that Stuart had been mortally wounded and was dying.

But he was up against the Government, and would talk so fierce of a night sometimes at the 'Barley Sheaf' that Ned Chown, the landlord, who was a true blue, didn't think so well on Mr. Pegram as the most of us. Friends he made, but hadn't much use for the women, though he declared himself as not against them.
At this moment the whistle sounded shrilly, and we felt the grind of the air-brakes. 'The Pegram signal again, cried Kombs, with something almost like enthusiasm. 'This is indeed luck. We will get out here, Whatson, and test the matter. As the train stopped, we got out on the right-hand side of the line.
