Lawrence is situated on the Merrimac

long, narrow entry, up one fight Of stairs,

meters, and caipeted with workout tobacco
quids, and furnished with one chair, two
settees and as many huge, sqlate packing
cases, marked 20. N. b" Scattered
around this immense palatial entrance hall
were some forty or fifty conscripts, looking
very much as if they expected to be ex:
empted by reason Of old age, before the
young man with a., ferociOus moustache
should notify them Of their turn. Most Of.
them, however, were doomed to disappoint-
ment, for while they counted the hours Of
delay, the door would suddenly open, and
the tall young man would single out man
and march him through the open doorway
