From tine to time saaspicions were
aroused in me by indications that Mr.,
Tilton was acting the part of an enemy
But the suspicious We're repeatedly allayec
by his own Behavior toward me in other
moods, and by the assurances of Mr..
Moulton, who ascribed the circumstances
to misunderstanding or tosmalice on the
