Gen.

Leffenwell, the member from New Orleans, had casually told him at the house last night that Selby and his family went to New York yesterday morning and were to sail for Europe to-day.
Philip had another idea which, he did not mention.

He seized his hat, and saying that he would go and see what he could learn, ran to the lodgings of Harry; whom he had not seen since yesterday afternoon, when he left him to go to the House.
Harry was not in.

He had gone out with a hand-bag before six o'clock yesterday, saying that he had to go to New York, but should return next day.

In Harry's-room on the table Philip found this note: "Dear Mr.Brierly:--Can you meet me at the six o'clock train, and be my escort to New York?
I have to go about this University bill, the vote of an absent member we must have here, Senator Dilworthy cannot go.
Yours, L.
