turned from his labor in the woods and
was introduced to the stranger.
Pat, although he might justly have
been called ignorant as regards to book
knowledge, possessed good, sound com
mon sense, and was instinctiyely, Il
good Judge of character, as we have
had occasion to notice before; and one
| glance at the open, frank cOuntenance
of Mr.. Belmont, assured him that he
was man; and he stepped forward and
grasped the proffered hand with pres
sure from his own brown hard one that
almost made the latter gentleman vince
with pain; but he, too, recognized the
man in Pat although the exterior was
uncoeth; and he returned the pressure
with the feryOr of friend.
Just then, supper was announced,
and all entered the house where de-
licious repast was in waiting.
While they are partaking of it, we
will inform the reader who Mr.. Belmont
was and how he happened to meet this
friendly family, as he had already made
it known to them.
Raymond Belmont was little more
than twenty-four years of age. His
home was in Detroit, Michigan. His
father, although not millionaire, was
in comfortable circumstances pecuni-
arily; in fact possessed enough of the
filthy lucre," with reasonable economy
to keep the wolf from his door during
the remainder of his lifetime, and after
his deceaSe, should Raymond, his only
son. survive him, there would be sutli-
cient left to place him in position
where economy added to little indus
try would render ii unnecessary for him
to become a charity boarder at the
county almShouse,
Raymond had entered the law office Of
Juris and Prudence as a student a little
more than three Years before, and had
quite recently been admitted to practice
law in any court in the state of Michi-
gan. After he received his diploma he
gave himself vacation of q few weeks
for the purpose Of taking a rest before
setting up an office Of his own. and I'M
like many Young men who would have
preferred to pass those few weeks
among the pleasures Of cities or on a
European trip, he determined topaSS his
vacation in the woods where game was
abundant and where fresh air and out
door exercise were conducive 10 good
health and muscular development.
Accordingly he purchased a good
double-5aneled gun, one barrel rHel
and the other smooth bore, together
with q supply Of ammunition and the
rest Of a SportsmaL'S outfit, mounted a
Michigan Central train. and was soon
