CHAPTER /.
HARRY TRENT's NEW HOME.

HARRY TRENT's NEW HOME.
It is less than twenty years since the
Trent murder in New York, and it was one
OF the great sensations of the time. But
the Franco German war, following close
upon it. distracted public attention. The
mystery connected with it was never
cleared I'D, and to-day there are few peo-
pie who remember it. 1t lies at the thresh-
old of our story, however, and We must
speak of it before going further.
In the year in 1870 the city, above Six
tieth street, was thinly settled. Upper
Fifth avenue, with the park one side and a
waste of vacant blocks on the other, was
like country road. There were irregular
hollows, sometimes with stagnant water In
them, or rocky hillocks, adorned with an
occasional board shanty; but there was no
promise of the array of palaces that look
down upon the peoples pleasure ground to-
day.
When, therefore, the year previous,
Harry Trent had laid the foundations of
his new house, half mile or more be-
yond civilized limits, he was called a
clever fellow or fool, according to the
temperament of the critic. Conserva-
tives prophesied that he would remain IN
lonely grandeur for twenty or thirty years
TO come, while optimists declared that he
showed even more than his usual s hrewd-
ness in securing betimes site which, later.
was sure to fetch four or five times its
present value. Harry Trent himself said
little, but went on with his building.
He was certainly no fool, in general
way of speaking. He was between fifty
and sixty years of age, and his hair was
white; but then it had been white since his
youth, and his face looked fresh and young.
In figure he was above middle height,
graceful and well built. His manners were
exquisitely suave and courteous, and had
polish not exactly American. In fact he
had lived many years abroad, and was re-
ceived in the best English and French So
ciety. He was personal acquaintance Of
the late Emperor Napoleon Ill, and was
said to belong TO the Prince of Wales set.
But though cosmopolitan in his way OF life,
he was a good American in his political and
social opinions. 1t was his business that
took him abroad.
