arm he caught up wad of it in his hand
ard laid it back from his forehead. He
had on a long frock coat fastened close

the flowing flap above oozed out the ends
of much-soilcd handkerchief. His
closely-titting trousers, through numer-
Gus portals of which protruded his in1
teresting self, seemed to run without
any dividing line into the shoe and boot
which respectively incased mis- feet.
The deacons had time to note these
pcculiarities before the stranger broke.
