seems tc pierce straight into one.
He is of very muscular build, slightly
above medium hight and both in tone
and gesture seemingly more like shrewd,
farseeing Yankee than an Englshman.
There Is nothing stolid about Maj. lie
Caron, nor is he constructed on a roast

He was envelopcd from head TO foot in

showed the letter to a member OF parlia-

soon thereafter an arrangement was en-

ever since.
