Chapter I
J. Cuyler Mitchell got out of his landau in the _porte cochere_ of his stately residence on Peachtree Street, and, aided by his gold-headed ebony cane, ascended the steps of the wide veranda, where he stood fanning his face with his Panama hat. Larkin, the negro driver, glanced over his shoulder after him. "Anything mo', Marse John?" he inquired. "No, I'm through with the horses for to-day," the old man returned. "Put them up, and rub them down well."
