Last October, he selected a ,-doz- - en young .hens, .arid divided -them' iiii-o cwo indiscriminate lots of six each, the same one-half dozen there was.added a' :daily ration -of a glass of wine per head.

He had got a look at his fare In a mirror In the'office. -He suddenly realized that he was- not a pleasant object for the eye to rest upon. VI. By what he saw from his window and what he heard after night fell. George decided that the "funeral parade" was far from closing: ' th.*- obsequies ,of Cornelius Corran. That part of the programme had merely started the event off in good shape. In the evening, there were fireworks. The bands played with a drunken persistency and a luck of harmony that nearly drove the young man frantic. Revel roared In the single street. Hoarse . mirth was broken in upon by the howls of fighters. It was- plain that a wild night was to be devoted to the memory of the lord of Toban. George drew down the ragged shade of his one window. He tried to occupy his mind with a cheap novel that he had picked up in the office on his way back to his room from supper. A discreet1 tap on his door startled him. .He"opened to the visitor, thinking- Romeo Bragg had come to consult, about a start, in the morning Jepson .
