I found an opportunity to sell out for $50,000 and avalled myself of it.

On my arrival I sent a messenger to Miss Mansfield to tell her that her brother's partner had arrived with news of him, but cautioning her to say nothing about me to her mother untll I had had an opportunity to see her. 8he appointed a meeting with me at the home of one of her friends. I went there and told her the bad news I had for her. To her grief was added the fact that ber mother, who had now become quite blind, was looking for her son every day. Her daughter—Mildred was her name—was in agony at the idea of im- parting the news to her. She could not think of doing so at the time, for the old lady was not in a condition to bear it So we arranged between us that until she was better I was to write letters as before, putting off the son and brother’s arrival, Mildred Mansfield was a very lovely girl. I sympathized with her deeply, and it was a matter of satisfaction that I was enabled to turn over to her ber brother's share in what I had real- ized for the mine. One day, desiring to consult with Mildred. I went to her house to see her, I could see no risk of revealing the true situation in doing so. But the old lady, who was in her room above, heard my volce below and got it into ber head that I was her son.

Gregory is the kindest hearted per- son in the world, and always ready to do a good turn for anybody, be it friend or stranger. The other day he was in a Third avenue car, standing because there was no vacant seat, when a dignified old man rose, indi- cated the place he left with a courteous bow and got out at Forty-second street. Gregory accepted the seat, but hardly had taken it when he no- ticed a neat package on the floor. ‘With a bound he was up and after the departing passenger. The car had started, but the old man looked around at sound of the shouting and Gregory let fly the parcel; the paper slipped off, a long string of link sausages satled through the air and lassoed the old gentleman’s silk hat, dangling over his face, which grew purple with rage. In the same moment the kind-hearted Gregory felt himself seized by a strong clutch and a wail broke upon the car, as a stout German woman lamented her lost treasure. “You throw oud mine Wurz!” she cried over and over; mine echt Ger man Wurz I take mine daughter once!
