I sat down beside him and asked him to take something. “‘l beg your pardon, colonel, but there's something I want to ask you before I forget. This afternoon Jesse | Randall and ! were having a talk, and neither of us could recall the | name of a certain man whom we used | to know very well. It wasn't Mere- dith, nor Merryweather; but some such name as that—it began with a “Merry,” anyway.’ | *“‘Yes,’ said the colonel, closing onei eye and scratching his head: ‘there | was a man of some such name as that lived around here, years ago. How | long has he been dead, John? “Well, I turned that question off. | Of course, there never was any such | man at all. “‘Oh, I don't know, exactly,’ I said; ‘but you must remember him, all right. He lived on Delaware avenue, on the side opposite to your house—a little tarther up, nearer the park. He was | a tall, fine-looking man, with a heavy, fron-gray mustache.’ “‘Yes, sir, said the colonel, ‘that’s the man, all right. I knew him as well as I know you, John. Strange | that I can’t speak his name—and I've | got it on the tip of my tongue.’ | “'Of course, there's no question of | your knowing him, colonel,’ I said. ‘He | had two very handsome daughters. | They were very lady-like girls, and | highly accomplished.
