Your age and weight? asked the clerk mechanically, at the same time looking at my son keenly, and getting the rest of his description at a glance. These questions were properly answered, and as the clerk was noting them he asked, Might I ask what was the gentleman's good luck? Certainly; he has fallen heir to a coal mine in Pennsylvania, and we are endeavoring to hunt him up for the executors of the estate. Ah? said the clerk, driving away with his pen; will you be so good as to ask Mr. Mallory to step this way?

All of these pleasant considerations made the departure from Galveston for Austin, in a Pickwickian sense, unusually agreeable.

A little complimentary conversation ensued during which time my son's quick eyes noticed in the lawyer's waste-basket an envelope evidently discarded on account of its soiled appearance, addressed to Miss Lizzie Taylor, Post-office Box --, Philadelphia, which on the first opportunity he appropriated. The next move was to prevent In Grange's mailing any letter, as it was evident he had written several, including one to Taylor's sister, which were only waiting to be mailed. Seeing that he had made a pleasant impression upon La Grange, who appreciated the courtesy of the call under the circumstances, and informing him that lie had decided to make no further inquiries there, but was to proceed west on the following morning, he prevailed upon him to take a ride in his company about the city and its environs.
