cssnFany generally.
Yes. SIR That a fact: and
Fax. We NAV say that same. chimed
ia a chorus from the outsiders ofihe
circle
Would you have any objection,
Sir. said Mr.. Hodges, dropping bio
voice to a whisper, tn indicate which
way, in your experienced Judgment,
our election is going to go!'
why really replied l, 'living
as | do, and taking SO little part in
politics, -
Il understand said he nodding
and interrupting; Il understand.
Quite right; in your exalted position
one can't be too cautious of what he
says. You are quite right. I beg
your pardon for making the inqui-
ry.'
Here dead silence ensued for a
brief time, the insiders of the circle
apparently being talked out, and
the outsiders too much awed by the
dignity of the occasion to venture
any remaks.
Il wish Lootenant Reed was
here at length observed Squire Sta
pies; she'd been delighted. Pro-
baby you didn't know him, but he
fought with you in Mexico. He's a
giant of a fellow, six feet two, and
perfect dare devil
1t struck me that, although I had
never been in Mexico, yet, if this
beligerent lieutenant entertained the
impression that he hod fought with
me there, he might possibly want to
fight with me again in Smithburgh.
So I mentally hoped he would not
return before I left.
May I beg the honor ofjust one
moments private conversation, en-
treated II shabby -genteel parsonage,
drawing me aside by the coat button.
Il am an attorney and councillor
at-Iaw; but business is poor here.
By the way, 1 ought to mention that
have always worked hard for the
party, and never dreamed of asking
anything. Any body will tell you
so. But what I was going to ask
you, whether, if I come down your
way. there would be any chance of
of my getting an office? I wouldn't
think Of such thing ifit wasn't for
my straitened circumstances. There
really don't seem to be nothing for
me to do up here
All! though I, he is thinking of
going to New York to practice, and
wants to know about renting an
office there. So I told him: Ger
tainly, he would have no difficulty
in getting one, though it was rather
late in the season.
Yes, I know that said he; Il
ought to have been on hand at the
fourth of March. But you really
think 1 could do something in that
way? And about how much do
YOU think it would be worth 2
l told him there was o great diff
erence in the rents, that they ranged
from fifty dollars mp to FIVE hundred,
and even eight hundred, or nine
hundred dollars.
Yes. 70 suppose. by what / see
about EN- in the blue book One Of
them eight hundred dollar ones
wonld l.< Just the thing fsr me.
