daring a heavy thunder storm. While shslterins
ourselvss under the lee OF b1ilding, We fell into
conversation with person who seemed to be
rorter. He had q handsome, intelligent face,
heavy beard, short, gray hair. deep perpendicular
arrows in his forehead, and ordinarily rather
melancholy expression. Hsving some difficulty 10
understanding US, he remarked that we must be
from England. "Nc," we replied, "but from
America" His eye kindled and he exclaimed
~Ah, from America are you from America =
Then dropping bis head, he ssid sadly, "And L.

When he rose to go, we pressed him to remain
