placed for his temporary occupation, sat But

smues at the sunbnrst whose brightness was
af1eady visible above the horizon. Pendle-

Payne on his left prepared to assume the
toga which was slipping from the shoulders
OF gentleman George" When Mr.. Payne
entered the chamber he paused for q
moment and looked around, as if
uncertain whether to advance. He was

Payne, in obedience to Pendleton's call,
passed down the main aisle, cordially grasped
the hand which PendletOn extended him. and
