the middle size, but Of a remarkably compact
symmetric1l form. BE was broad sbOuldered,

black, piercing, and Ii: with spark Of Ere.
His nose was thin, and slightly hooked; his
lips were firm, his chin small, but suartly de-
veloped His whole face was long and bony;
bis complexion swsrthy; his hair jet black, AID
twisted in rOpy curls down his forehead and
over his ears Altogether he was > remsrka-

quiet, thoughtful Jones, and the dark, hand

he seemed like Gagged eagle, ready to rend
in atoms the bars which restrained him.
