winter day was drawing to close. Be.
fore the glowing ashes of a fire that lately
cracked in a cheerful way sat two young
men. In the shadows of the ember-liRhted
room could be seen the outlines of desk;
while the ghosts OF chairs and divans,

countenance almost too youthful to con-
form with his manly stature. His nose
