DIR. Tanners Condition.

DIR. Tanner lies, shapeless heap, muffled
in blankets on his cot in the south gallery of
Clarendon Hall. From little distance
few gray hairs standing stiffly out are all
that show that ANYTHING except blankets is on
the cot. Presently the heap moves uneasily
and face appears at one end of the bed--a
face in which there is something intent fierce
and wolfish as the man suddenly awakes and
feebly raises himself on his arm. Then he
seats himself on the edge of the cot, and a
film seems to come over the sunken eyes, that
lose their lustre and become half closed. as if
weighed down by remorseless WEAKNESS.
As the face. still showing dull color, settled
into repose this morning, it seemed to be
drawn into Il series of lines converging to the
point of the nose.
Three deep wrinkles in the middle of the
brow gave an aspect of anxiety and suffering
to the face. Rigid lines extended to the cor
ners of the mouth. Heavy shadows we're
visible under the cavernous eyes, and the
skin was tightly drawn over the bones of the
forehead and checks. A slightly tremulous
motion was visible in the once firmly set
lips. only tightly closed now when the owner
becomes excited and aroused. As the man
sat on his cot the head YEARLY sank forward.
as if his shrunken neck were powcrless to
support it. He buried his face in his hands
no longer NUitt. OUT VI an aitnoSt ptrpIlSn
hue. His bent back. dropping head and
nerveless hands told of moment of despon-
dency, and presented picture of intense but
silent misery.
Then the man slowly rose. wavering a lit
tie at first, and half reaching out as if for
some support. His head was still bent for
ward: his rounded shoulders made his chest
seem fat. and his loosely hanging clothing
easily brought belief in the fact that he had
lost 81 pounds in 81 days. few steps were
taken. the slippered feet shutting heavily
along the bare floor. and the weak limbs
trembling a little underneath the weight they
almost failed to support. Then some one
spoke, and the man seemed to realize that
every motion was closely watched. His
head went up. the iron jaws settled firmly
together. and a new light came into the
clouded ewes. With trace of his old-time
vigor the feeble walker increased his pace.
taking long strides, although his feet still
shuffied along the floor. Soon the steps
grew slower-the body made its claims felt
even against the imperious domination of the
willard turning TO his chair the weary man
sank into it with a halfuttered sigh of re-
lief. He looked vacantly around for a mo- |
ment. then feeling that the necessity for ex- |
ertion was past. his head again dropped for |
ward and he looked asleep. or busted in dis. |
