a table with a bottle of brandy on it,

''the upper ten ;" But there was
something in his eye ahd lip that
struck the beholder as being gross
and sensual He was evidently an
elegant rake and a thorough de-
bauch. The other was a bplly, swag-
gering, deyil-mezcar re son Of Bacchus
Just the man that money and

Bob Stanly and Ned Jones, slightly
alluded to in our first chapter.
