clambering along its caves, and in a gres,

had been mere shrubs when the house was
in its prime; but as it grew old they grew

stood like giants flineing their broad arms

From father to son they had been q noble

1t consisted Of couches and easy chairs
and other comforts and conveniences
adapted to the use Of an invalid.
In an easy chair in front Of the fire,
partly supported by ohushions, was Mr.
Lindsey. He was a noble.looking old
man, with fine massive head. but he was
only the wreck Of what he had been. His
features finely formed, al they were, were
sharpened and wasted by disease: his
cheeks were thin and sunken, and he Ia.
bored heavily for breath.
John bowed as he paused Just inside Of
the door but Mr.. Lindsey beckoned him to
come nearer.
