The Ann Mary Ann was creeping on the At

or five weary months still between her and

cloth--cotton drilling. They did not shut out
the sound of voices all around me, and at

the many unstudied attitudes peculiar to man

difficulty in getting off his boots His figure,
of herQic size, was so thrown on my canvas in
the many irritating and uncomfortable posi-

make his heel bulge from the position it has
maintained all day.
One night while so engaged received an
unexpected visit from him. In the midst of
harder tug than usual he lost his balance,
fell over backward against the cloth wall,
which gave way under pressure, and through
the rent he rolled, boot still in hand, into my
