That man Mason, said Samuel Walcott, is the mysterious member of this club. He is more than that; he is the mysterious man of New York. I was much surprised to see him, answered his companion, Marshall St. Clair, of the great law firm of Seward, St. Clair & De Muth. I had lost track of him since he went to Paris as counsel for the American stockholders of the Canal Company. When did he come back to the States? He turned up suddenly in his ancient haunts about four months ago, said Walcott, as grand, gloomy, and peculiar as Napoleon ever was in his palmiest days. The younger members of the club call him 'Zanona Redivivus.' He wanders through the house usually late at night, apparently without noticing anything or anybody. His mind seems to be deeply and busily at work, leaving his bodily self to wander as it may happen. Naturally, strange stories are told of him; indeed, his individuality and his habit of doing some unexpected thing, and doing it in such a marvelously original manner that men who are experts at it look on in wonder, cannot fail to make him an object of interest…
