My little stock of provision was exhausted, and I had been two days without food, when I again heard the doors that led to my prison creek on their hinges. An unknown step approached, and in a few minutes the marquis entered my cell! My blood was chilled at the sight, and I closed my eyes as I hoped for the last time. The sound of his voice recalled me. His countenance was dark and sullen, and I perceived that he trembled. He informed me that Vincent was no more, and that henceforward his office he should take upon himself.

“Grandmother’s. It blew away.” My, oh, my! Just look at all the apples! There must be fully a half bushel—a good many for such a little old tree. It was not long before he presented himself, washed and changed, at the general offices. As he went in he asked the girl at the telephone if Mr. Whitney had returned. “Gee whiz, it’s interesting,” said Bob at last, when Jerry put the fascinating instrument away..
