Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1890-12-20

That night Mr.. Roman sat up late in
his library, reading over letters and
papers he had not seen in ten years
not since the day he had had that quar-
rel with Tom Blake, for it was that
same morning he had received a cable
gram calling him to Europe to take
possession Of a large estate left him,
and yesterday he had reached home for
the first time since his hurried depart
ure.
81 was just beginning my battle with
the world them" he unused; NOW l
feel like a warrior, battle-scarred and
lonely. How enthusiastic Tom and 1
were them! how close our friendship
was -
And taking up an old letter. a low
laugh burst from his lips as he read its
witty illusions TO an almost forgotten
college scrape.
A very different look came into his
face as he glanced down the pages of
the next letter which met his eye, and
read:
