'Fwss only last week. sir. that a promi.ing young from oxford--a student al tho acaslemy here--was drawn Into that very card. sir, and before any assistance could reach him be was run throagh, and manufactured Into No. I6. super extra, cotton warp yarn."

 There was not much room to spare betwxt him self aud the gearing of the card behind. Another step backwards completed the ceremony of intro. duciion.
